TV personality Trisha Goddard has shared a defiant health update after receiving positive results from a brain scan amid her battle with secondary breast cancer. The 68-year-old, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and later given the all-clear, revealed in 2024 that her cancer had returned as metastatic or stage four breast cancer.
In an Instagram post, Goddard described undergoing an MRI and CAT scan just before the New Year, calling them a regular part of her treatment. She wrote: “MRI and CAT scans are a regular part of my treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Along with non-stop blood tests, it's how my oncology team keep tabs on all those little f***er cancer cells they're constantly playing 'Whack-A-Mole' with!”
She added that she received her results via a special app on her phone about an hour after the scan, sparing her the anxiety of waiting. “The good news for me is that I have something to celebrate tonight!” she wrote, accompanying the post with a video of her dancing in front of a Christmas tree.
Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and messages of support. One wrote: “What a New Year's present!! Fab news, Trisha. I wish you all the best for 2026.” Another said: “Fantastic news. Happy New Year, and may 2026 bring you much peace and even more healing.”
Goddard, who celebrated her 68th birthday on December 23, also reflected on her journey, noting that metastatic cancer is now reclassified as a “life limiting illness” due to new drugs and treatments. She expressed gratitude to the medical staff at her radiology centre.
