Calum Best's Mum: Delayed Diagnosis, Fierce Chemo Battle

Calum Best has spoken out about his mother Angie's colon cancer diagnosis, revealing it was detected "quite late" after she initially delayed seeking medical help. The 73-year-old, formerly married to footballer George Best, is now undergoing chemotherapy in Zurich for the cancer that has metastasized to her liver.

Appearing on television, Calum urged viewers to prioritize their health and seek immediate medical attention for any concerning symptoms. He shared that his mother, who believes strongly in wellness, initially consulted a homeopath for her symptoms, who misdiagnosed her with Lyme disease. This alternative approach delayed her diagnosis of a significant tumor.

Calum finally convinced his mother to see a medical doctor, who discovered a large tumor in her colon. He emphasized the importance of trusting medical professionals and seeking timely treatment, even while respecting alternative remedies. Calum admitted that witnessing another parent face a health crisis has been emotionally consuming.
