She said: "I have to be incredibly grateful that I got a clear scan the last time I got scanned.
"But, I'm also very very aware that the type of cancer that I had has a 70 to 90 per cent chance of returning and that is quite a blow cause you think 'well what do I do now'?"

Godley goes on to encourage her fans to live life to the fullest in an emotional speech saying: "Well, you live! You live for the time you've got. "
"You get out, you enjoy your life and you try and keep as strong and healthy as you can until the next time some other piece of f****** s*** is flung at you then you deal with that.
"So, on one hand, I've got a clear scan and then, on the other hand, I'm acutely aware that stage three ovarian cancer is a pretty persistent b****** but I'm enjoying life as it is right now and that's what's important."

"As my cancer journey begins, I look to you for inspiration."
Another added: "Great philosophy, you can only tackle what's in front of you at present and not be too concerned about whatever the future may hold.
"Enjoy the present and good luck."
