The former Celebrity Apprentice contestant and media personality reportedly found out she had cancer three weeks ago.

Prue is expected to give a eulogy at the funeral of news veteran and close friend Ian Ross on Monday after he died from pancreatic cancer on Wednesday.

“It has been a hell of a week but I am feeling strong and positive about the future,” she told the Daily Telegraph.

“I know that more than 80 per cent of women survive breast cancer and I intend to be one of them.”
