ER Star Says Strictly Was 'Antidote' to Cancer Treatment
Alex Kingston described Strictly Come Dancing as a restorative experience that helped her cope with uterine cancer treatment including hysterectomy and radiation therapy.
- Last year, Alex Kingston, the 63-year-old actress, said appearing on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing was the 'perfect antidote' after cancer treatment and she was paired with Johannes Radebe.
- Medical procedures including a hysterectomy and radiation therapy were part of Kingston's uterine cancer treatment, and she stepped away from another TV show fearing she might seem unreliable.
- Asked about fertility, Kingston said she described going through multiple IVF cycles to have her daughter Salome as hugely debilitating.
- After treatment she accepted a smaller role in the ITV drama 'Secret Service', which she said helped her ease back into acting. Kingston described the role as not a huge part but sufficient for her return.
- Kingston said her outlook on life is positive and glass-half-full, and she intends to live to 100 after confronting her mortality through cancer treatment.
