Beverley Callard has shared an emotional update on her cancer battle, revealing that tests on a lymph node have returned positive results. The 69-year-old actress was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in February and has been keeping fans informed throughout her treatment.
In an Instagram video on Thursday, the former Coronation Street star said that a lymph node sent to America for testing showed 'low numbers', meaning the cancer is not aggressive. She confirmed she can now begin radiotherapy soon, adding, 'I am popping champagne! Wahey!'
Callard became visibly emotional during the update, expressing relief. Her husband Jon McEwan was also featured in the video, remarking, 'What a f****** journey!' The couple recently moved to Ireland so she could join the cast of BBC soap Fair City.
The positive news comes days after she was forced to pull out of the live final of I'm A Celebrity...South Africa due to her health. She previously described feeling 'wiped out' after a late-night virtual appearance. Callard first announced her diagnosis on RTE's Late Late Show in February, saying it was caught early.
