SM: Are you in remission or do you have to go through another round of chemo?
Diem Brown: When I get back [home], I will go for my first remission test and I’m really hoping it all goes well. I don’t want to go through [the treatments] again.
SM: What lies ahead for you, now that you’re done filming Fresh Meat?
Diem Brown: I started a foundation Live for the Challenge and a website that will hopefully help other people. I really can’t tell you—after doing the Fresh Meat challenge—how much I realized you need other people. How a stupid excursion or doing something you haven’t done before makes your mind so much better. You don’t feel bitter about [your illness]. You feel at peace with every thing. I really felt after the Fresh Meat challenge, “Alright, I’ve done my piece. I’ve done everything I’ve wanted to do. Whatever’s in the cards is in the cards.” [Live for the Challenge] is kind of like the Make-A-Wish Foundation: You get your last hoo-ha. I don’t want to say it’s your last but that was my biggest thing, I never wanted to feel bitter about having cancer. I wanted to find the positive light in it.
