'I Thought I Was Too Young To Get Cancer'

The Brave Singer Opens Up About Her Cancer Treatment. And Delta’s Support.

Before blowing the judges away on The Voice, Natasha Stuart loved her job performing as a singer in her band and spending her nights out with her pals.

But then one visit to the doctor completely changed her life. At 41 years of age, Natasha was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.

“I just said to my doctors, ‘Aren’t I too young?’” Natasha tells New Idea.

Natasha has known Delta for many years and she knew that Delta would be able to support her through this time as the singer had also battled cancer in the past.

“She said, ‘You are on the young side,’ and I was just shocked, because I thought, ‘Oh my God, are you kidding me? This seems so out of the blue.’

“But now, I’m in contact with a bunch of different girls who are going through this in their 20s and 30s”

After coming to terms with her diagnosis, Natasha had to undergo a lumpectomy and a strenuous bout of chemotherapy, but music kept her going.

“The way I stayed positive through chemo was to go and do my gigs,” she admits.

“The first week I couldn’t read, I couldn’t watch TV, because I was so sick. But even that first week, I didn’t do a great job, but I did a gig on the Friday.
