Simon Cowell speaks out about cancer

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Here at Globebloggers we have spoken many times about travelling with cancer. That is why we just wanted to share this article we found  in the Daily Mail to share the experiences of someone you may know (he is just a little bit famous) and his experiences of cancer. I am talking about Simon Cowell, of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and ‘X-Factor Fame.

Whether you like Simon Cowell or not as a celebrity, he is now involved with a charity promoting a very worthy cause since Julia, his mother, suffered from breast cancer 12 years ago. Julie is honorary president of Against Breast Cancer and Simon is a patron. Against Breast Cancer is a UK charity working with a research team at University College London to find a breast cancer vaccine.

Simon’s mother has continued to live a very full life since her breast cancer, while making sure she has regular checkups, and apparently Simon is now taking his health more seriously too. Julia says her son has even ditched dairy products and greasy food in favour of fruit, and plans to quit smoking by the time he is 50. He currently smokes 15 cigarettes a day.

If you suffer from cancer, or are undergoing treatment, it is important, like Julia to still be able to do the things you enjoy as much as possible, and that includes holidays. We can provide more information about travelling with cancer here. Please let us know if there is anything more that you would like to find out that we can help with.
