'A shock'Although the New Year's Eve actress is more successful than ever as she approaches her 40th birthday in June, she has previously revealed her brush with thyroid cancer in 2000 has made her appreciate the good things that happen to her.
She said: "You work hard, you live a healthy lifestyle and then you get the news you have cancer. Thank God I had the kind of cancer that is much more easily treated than other terrible cancers.
"But it was still a shock. The good thing is that an experience like that makes you understand what is important in life."
