Cancer treatment
Rita contacted the show earlier in the week by email. She said that she had been diagnosed with lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. She has decided to forgo chemotherapy. Emma has the BRCA1 gene. She has survived cancer 8 times and would urge Rita to opt for chemotherapy. Bobs wife was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago. She opted for chemotherapy. She always said that “she had cancer, but cancer didn't have her”. She never thought about not having treatment.
