Etheridge appeals for alternative to chemo

Breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge was left traumatised by the experience of undergoing chemotherapy, and has called on scientists to develop a kinder treatment.

The Bring Me Some Water singer, 44, is now cancer-free after 10 months battling the disease - but pities other sufferers who have to undergo the treatment.

Etheridge says: "The chemotherapy is the biggest trip. The medical community has to come up with something better. It hasn't changed in 30 years. It has got to change."
