RICHARDS FEELS CLOSER TO WIFE AFTER HER CANCER BATTLE
ROLLING STONES rocker KEITH RICHARDS grew closer to his wife PATTI HANSEN during her cancer battle because the health scare forced the couple to s hare their feelings more openly.
Doctors found a tumour in Hansen’s bladder in 2007 and she underwent ch emotherapy in a bid to fight the disease.
When the treatment was unsuccessful, she underwent a risky operation to remove the organ and surgeons used her intestines to create a new one.
Now Hansen has opened up about her health battle, crediting Richards wi th helping her through the tough period.
She tells Britain’s Daily Express, "We now have a really open relations hip. I used to hold back so much from him. I didn’t want to tell him the bad stuff. Now I tell him every little thing that’s going on. I’m so bles sed. I feel so healed." And the couple’s daughter Alexandra has praised her dad for helping Han sen overcome the illness: "He definitely shut down, he thought the worst.
Dad held her hand through the whole thing."
