This Morning ' s Shelagh Rogers talks with documentarian Gerry Rogers about her experience as cancer survivor and subject of her own documentary.
Breast cancer is a little bit hard.
And how it's managed, if there's a symptom then they start investigating. My energy is not as good as I want it to be. I'm hoping that will get better. I had six months of chemo then five weeks of radiation and it really takes its toll on your body. It's like a big war that goes on in your body.
