Sharon needs more treatment

Sharon Osbourne says her cancer has spread beyond her colon, and she will undergo three months of chemotherapy, expected to feature in The Osbournes.

Sharon Osbourne has admitted her cancer is more serious than was initially diagnosed. After treatment earlier this month for colon cancer she was believed to be making a full recovery. But she told People magazine in the States last week that the cancer had spread. Reports say doctors, who believed they had removed the cancer, later found cancerous cells in one of two lymph nodes removed during the procedure, indicating it had moved beyond her colon. As a result Sharon will undergo three months of chemotherapy starting next week. It is expected that the treatment will be included in the filming of the next series of MTV’s The Osbournes. Needless to say the news had a bigger affect on Ozzy than Sharon herself: "He was hysterical, just terrified," she told People. "The doctor had to come over and sedate him." "I've always had a plan that I'd get sick before she did, that I'd die before she did, but my plan didn't work out," Ozzy told the magazine. "Life has a way of kicking you in the nuts." But Sharon added that her chances of survival were "very, very good" and went on to joke about the cancer. ''Why'd they have to find it in my bum of all places?'' she said.
