Sheryl talks about her cancer scare...
Sheryl Crow – who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 – was shocked when she got the news as she had always been so healthy but says it completely changed her outlook on life.
Sheryl – who adopted a baby son Wyatt after getting the all-clear at the end of 2006 – said: "I've really learned it's the experiences that take you far off your course that really help you to learn who you are. I'm not sure whether cancer made me a better person, but it definitely made me more of an awake person. When I was diagnosed, everything came to a screeching halt and I needed to take a good look at my life. It forced me to experience everything that was going on, from grief and anger to sadness and fear. We all get to the point where we really adhere to the art of distraction."
