She elaborated, “It’s wrecked me in the sense of, yes, I knew I had stage 4, and yes, I knew it was really serious, but when you have to go to the hospital and you have to get put under and a port put in you, it becomes very real in an incredibly different way”, reports Daily Mail.
The Charmed alum also spoke about the potential “change” in her plans depending on the chemotherapy results after three months. “That’s not something that I can predict. It’s not something my doctors can predict. And it’s scary,” she continued. “It’s like a big wake-up call”, Sloane told People.
