Sarah Beeny shares post-chemotherapy update after documenting gruelling breast cancer battle

Sarah Beeny has given fans a post-chemotherapy update following her gruelling breast cancer battle.

The presenter announced her cancer diagnosis last August and chose to document her journey to recovery on social media in a bid to raise awareness about the disease.

She was given the all-clear eight months later after undergoing gruelling treatment, which saw her hair fall out.

Now sharing a health update on Tuesday, the property expert revealed that her eyebrows are “growing back at last” following chemo.

Celebrating the milestone, Beeny posted an animated photo of herself with permanent make-up artist, Karen Betts as she underwent a microblading treatment.

She captioned the black-and-white Instagram selfie: “Eyebrows growing back at last, thank you to the brilliant @karenbettsofficial for making it look like I had them when they weren’t there!

“So clever #microblading #eyebrows #chemo xxx”.

The Channel 4 star previously admitted she didn’t think she would ever live past 39.

The New Country Lives star, who is now aged 51, was just 10 years-old when she lost her mother to breast cancer aged 39.

“My mum died when she was 39; I think I’ve always assumed that I would die at 39, so I’ve always been very impatient, trying to fit loads of stuff in,” she told The Guardian in June regarding her recent doc, Sarah Beeny vs Cancer.

“I suppose, if I’m honest, I wanted to get her records to go: ‘She had that treatment and it didn’t work. But I’m having this treatment, and therefore it will work because now it’s better.’ I wanted to prove that I was going to get better, to myself.

“I was quite shocked by how they talked about her, because we’ve come a long way. Loads of things they didn’t tell her. Misogyny, alive and kicking. The chemotherapy she had would have made her infertile, but they didn’t bother telling her.

“I wouldn’t change anything. Life has its weird ways of being what it is. If my mother hadn’t died, I probably wouldn’t have met [husband] Graham, because I’d probably have gone to a different school. I met him because my brother [Diccon] met his sister.”
