Angie Best has shared a health update following her cancer battle, revealing she still needs two more operations. The model, 74, recently underwent treatment for Stage 3 colon cancer and announced she had beaten the disease. On her birthday Sunday, she thanked fans but clarified her condition.
Birthday Health Update
In a video posted to Instagram, Angie said: "I just want to say a very big heartfelt thankyou to all of you who wished me a happy 74th birthday. So, I just have to clear a little something up. So, you know I told you I was cancer-free? Well I am - except I've got the bits in my liver that are cells that metastasised from the colon to the liver."
She continued: "I've got some little ones on the left hand side and some big ones on the right hand side.. They have to be got rid of, so I've got two liver operations to do and then I'm done, so, wish me luck - again!"
Support from Fans
She captioned the post: "I played down the liver ops but will update what they are later." The former wife of late footballer George Best received support from fans. One wrote: "happy birthday wishes angie [red heart emoji] keep your eye on the prize, what would you like to do post op..." Another said: "Sending love and hugs your way and hope it all goes smoothly for you," while a third reminded her: "You are so strong."
Previous Cancer Journey
Earlier, Angie announced the cancer had spread to her liver and underwent intensive treatment to remove tumours. Before revealing she was cancer-free, she posted a video explaining her journey, the final step in treatment, and her desire to "reinvent" herself. She said she was discharged after keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to remove the last part of the cancer.
She explained: "The chemo and the immunotherapy prior had shrunk my 30cm lump down to a little tiny bit that was attached to the colon. They shrunk it, now we go in and cut it out... A bit like an interior designer coming in and moving the furniture around, but it still works." She described the recovery process, including fluid-only days and then reintroducing food.
