Fit: Trisha Goddard
The TV presenter, 50, told earlier this year how she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after a lump was found during a routine mammogram.
But following radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she said she was on the road to recovery.
Speaking on GMTV, she added: "We live from day to day but for now the cancer is gone."
Trisha won the admiration of thousands across the country as she vowed to beat the disease and told how exercise proved a vital part of her recovery.
She said: "A week after I had my last radiotherapy I went mountain running in Maine in the States. I ran while I was having daily radiotherapy. I used to park my car on the other side of the park. I would do a 20- to 40- minute run, run into the radiotherapy department, they'd say slow down, have radiotherapy, then I could continue with the rest of the 20-minute run. I trailed mud into radiotherapy, I said, Hurry up you're spoiling my running times!'"
Trisha stressed how helpful exercise can be to cancer patients and admitted she'd like a few changes to be made to the way health professionals conduct treatment.
She added: "I've been able to show them that you can go through it all differently."
