Washington
(ANI):
Breast
cancer
survivor
singer
Sheryl
Crow
has
said
that
the
fight
with
the
disease
has
made
her
a
selfish
person,
in
a
good
way.
The
46-year-old
singer
has
claimed
that
the
therapy
has
taught
her
to
put
herself
first
before
anyone
else.
"Breast
cancer
helped
me
put
myself
first
in
life.
Once
I
stepped
out
of
radiation,
I
had
to
remember
that
the
only
person
who
could
take
care
of
me
was
me.
I'd
better
do
that
before
I
take
care
of
everybody
else,
instead
of
everybody
else
first," People
quoted
Crow
as
saying.
Crow
has
now
managed
to
discard
cancer
from
her
life
following
lumpectomy
and
radiation
treatments
two-and-a-half
years
ago.
Sheryl,
the
winner
of
nine
Grammy
Awards,
became
a
mom
to
17-month-old
son
Wyatt
and
moved
to
a
Tennessee
farm
after
beating
breast
cancer.
She
is
hoping
that
women
will
be
diligent
about
getting
mammograms,
learning
their
family
history
of
cancer
and
doing
self-exams.
"I
feel
more
connected
to
my
life
now
that
I've
had
and
beat
breast
cancer," she
said.
