Sarah Harding breaks silence on cancer battle and opens up on ‘bad days’ and hospital treatments
SARAH Harding has revealed she has “bad days” as she opened up about her cancer battle ahead of her tell-all autobiography.
In a rare social media post, the Girls Aloud singer told fans her autobiography Hear Me Out is set to be released in March and will document her gruelling breast cancer fight.
Sarah, 39, shared on Twitter and Instagram today: “Hi everyone! I hope you are keeping safe and as well as possible with everything that’s going on.
“I know I’m not really that present on here which I promise I’ll try to get a bit better at, as honestly it means the world to me when I come on and see all your well wishes.
“Thank you for the love and support, on bad days it helps me so much. So here’s a little update from me… Mum, the dogs and I had a really lovely but quiet Christmas together, which was different to my usual, but seemed a fitting way to end such a strange year.
“And since then, in between treatments and hospital visits I’ve managed to finish my book! I can’t believe I’ve actually gone and done it and it’s now at the printers! I’m so excited for it to come out.
“I can’t rewrite history; all I can do is be honest and wear my heart on my sleeve. It’s really the only way I know. I want to show people the real me. Or perhaps remind them. Because, somewhere – amongst the nightclubs, the frocks and hairdos, the big chart hits…
“…and the glamour of being a popstar – the other Sarah Harding got utterly lost. She’s the one who’s been forgotten. And all I want is for you to hear her out.
“I called the book ‘Hear Me Out’ because it’s the title of the song I wrote on the second Girls Aloud album and I’ve always really loved it. The lyrics have always meant a lot to me.
“It’s been lovely revisiting our songs, looking back over photos and writing down memories from my last 39 years. I really hope you might enjoy reading about them too.
“There are some signed ones available too. It’s coming out on March 18 and I can’t wait… argh!!! Sending you all lots of love, S x.”
The writing process has helped take Sarah’s mind of her cancer battle.
She said in December it has been a positive to focus on while she’s been stuck at home in between trips to the hospital for treatment.
Her followers praised her spirit and said they’re excited to read it.
One said: “❤️❤️❤️well done that’s brilliant keep fighting and stay positive 😍.”
Another said: “Don’t be silly! We understand you not being on here much! Think about yourself and keep fighting beautiful. We love you so so much! Can’t wait to read the book.”
And one more said: “Take your time hun, were all still here giving you all the love and support we can ❤ miss you tons xxx.”
The singer has moved in with her mum Marie after revealing her advanced cancer diagnosis back in August 2020.
