Suzanne Somers
Suzanne Somers announced that she had breast cancer in 2001. She underwent a lumpectomy and radiation treatment. She turned down a third treatment, chemotherapy, in favour of a homeopathic alternative called Iscador, which uses extracts of mistletoe. This was quite controversial at the time and Suzanne defended her decision, telling CNN’s Larry King, “I just want to say that this is what I'm doing for me. I'm not telling anybody else to do this.'' Suzanne successfully battled breast cancer and speaks about her experience openly and often. (credit: Gregg DeGuire/WireImage.com )
