Doctors have expressed concern that Beverley Callard should have started radiotherapy earlier. The 69-year-old actress, best known for playing Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year and has been keeping fans updated.
Callard, who recently moved to Ireland with her husband Jon McEwan to join the cast of RTÉ soap Fair City, shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday evening. She said: 'They are a little concerned because they think I should've started the radiotherapy before now but of course because we moved house, it took a while for my medical records to come from England to Ireland.'
The actress explained that her medical records have now arrived and she has another appointment on Thursday. She added: 'They will begin it soon so it went okay, it went okay. So I will keep you updated.'
Callard first announced her diagnosis in February on RTÉ's Late Late Show, saying she received the news just minutes before filming for Fair City. She described it as 'very early stages' and said she was 'fine'.
The former I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star thanked fans for their support and said she was 'nervous' but ready to begin treatment. She captioned her Instagram post: 'A trip to the breast clinic today… it went ok, not quite what I wanted to hear but a step forward nonetheless.'
