Former 'Dancing with the Stars' co-host Samantha Harris, who is battling cancer, may have to undergo chemotherapy and she is scared of it.
The 40-year-old star is afraid of chemotherapy but remains hopeful because she knows a lot of women who have undergone the session, reported People magazine.
"I am scared by the prospect of chemo, but I know so many inspiring women who have gone through it and, as they told me, 'rocked it,'" she said.
"If I need it, I will take a deep breath and readjust my focus. Stay positive. When life deals you lemons, you gotta make lemonade!"
Harris, wife of financier Michael Hess and mother of two daughters, underwent double mastectomy in May after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Doctors informed her the cancer had spread beyond her breasts and they had to further testing.
