“So we're getting on there. We've gotten on no treatment note at all. So I'm great, couldn't be better."“I had a 16-doses of chemo, three weeks of radiation, and then I had the 12 treatments of Pembro, which is a new therapy.”"I always made myself… I never let myself go to bed all day, because bed was for sleeping at night and things like that.“I just had rules that I kept myself.
"I still got up every morning and walked into the horses every day. There was a while I didn't go racing, during the winter, it was too cold.“I don't like it much, because it's still bloody curly. I washed it this morning and it's still curly.“And then it came back curly, and I've never had curly hair. I had, basically, I had a soft colour, it was dead straight," she said.
