UK nurses strike: Samantha Womack backs nurses even if it affects her own cancer treatment

Britain's striking nurses found support for their movement coming from an unusual quarter. Celebrity actor Samantha Womack has categorically said about her support for the ongoing Nurse's strike in the UK. Samantha recently confirmed she is free from breast cancer, which was diagnosed five months ago.

They do a great job

Samantha has a big word of appreciation for the Nurses. She thanked them for caring and looking after her well in her ongoing treatment of cancer. Samantha was speaking on the Good Morning Britain show today. Samantha added that nurses have every right to ask for better pay and other facilities because their care contributes significantly to a patient's recovery. Samantha commented on her cancer treatment and said that recovering from surgery was tough.



She reminded people of the need for regular health checks. In her case, a random check-up led to her cancer detection; more importantly, the early detection helped get rid of the disease. She, however, regretted that she was not regular with check-ups, and the impact of her illness could have been more severe if gone undetected for more extended periods.
