From Cycling Weekly:
Former British road and time trial champion, Sharon Laws has announced she is suffering from cancer. Laws, who retired form professional cycling in August, has been diagnosed with cancer of the cervix and has described her illness as “treatable but not curable.”
After riding the Prudential RideLondon GP for her Podium Ambition team in July, Laws decided to have some lumps in her neck examined and it was then the cancer was discovered.
“I assumed these were just due to a series of colds I seemed to have had continually during the season,” the 42-year old-explained in a statement. “I was shocked to be told they contained secondary cancer tumours.”
Since then she has undergone extensive tests to locate the primary tumour and last week began a course of chemotherapy.
“Obviously I am trying to come to terms with what is happening,” the statement continued. “Up until starting the chemotherapy I could still ride my bike and, apart from recovering from the operations I had recently, felt normal.”
