Paltrow’s cancer fears

LONDON - Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says she suffered so much pain while learning the guitar for her role as a singer in “Country Strong” that she feared she had cancer.

“My fingers wouldn’t respond to the signals my brain was giving them. I thought, I must have all these atrophied muscles in my fingers!” contactmusic.com quoted 38-year-old as saying.

“I had bleeding fingers and cramps in my hands and shoulder problems. I was like, ‘I think I have cancer!’ I went to the doctor and I had just pulled a muscle in my arm. It was a disaster. What a nerd!”
