ARTIST Tracey Emin has announced that her cancer has “gone” after she had surgery. Emin, 57, discovered a tumour in her bladder last year while working on a painting of a ­malignant lump.

She had reproductive organs removed last summer and was fitted with a stoma bag. Emin told BBC’s Newsnight she reached a “big, big milestone” and her three-monthly scans were “all clear” last week.

She said: “I never realised how much I wanted to live until I thought I was going to die.” The artist’s works include her unmade bed and the tent “Everyone I Have Ever Slept With”.

Although she plans to create more art, she said: “I’m not painting because I’m using my willpower to stay alive.” She will now have yearly cancer scans.
