Because of her MS, Chrissy was unable to undergo chemo for her cancer.

After receiving the initial diagnosis Chrissy bravely said, “I'm a keep-on-going sort of girl.

 “It's sh*t and it's unfair, but life is not fair – even rock stars get breast cancer. But there've been many girls before me who have dealt with it successfully.

"It's easy to feel sorry for me but I feel sorry for people who are suffering it alone,'' she said.
