Actress Beverley Callard has revealed that doctors are concerned her radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer has been delayed. The 69-year-old, best known for playing Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, shared the news in an Instagram video on Tuesday evening.
Callard, who recently moved to Ireland with her husband Jon McEwan to star in RTÉ soap Fair City, said her new medical team noted the delay was due to the transfer of her records from England. She has an appointment on Thursday to see more specialists and expects to begin treatment soon.
In the video, 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.' She added that the visit 'went okay' and she would keep fans updated.
Callard first revealed her diagnosis in February on RTÉ's Late Late Show, explaining she received the news just before filming for Fair City. She described it as 'very early stages' and said she was 'absolutely fine'. The actress also appeared on I'm A Celebrity...South Africa last year.
