Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has shared some fantastic news amid her cancer journey, which has had her ‘popping the champagne’.
The Liz McDonald actress revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in February, before undergoing surgery.
The actress was in Dublin ahead of filming for Irish soap Fair City when she received a call from her consultant, asking her to return to England for treatment, which included tests on her lymph nodes.
This weekend, she shared an update with her social media followers, and it was ‘great news’.
‘I’ve been waiting for my results, as you know,’ she said in a video posted to her Instagram account.
‘We’d sent one of the lymph nodes that had cancer in over to America for testing to see how aggressive the cancer would be, and they’ve told me it’s on low numbers, so that’s really good.’
Beverley went on to explain that this meant she would be able to go ahead with the next stage of her treatment plan, which is radiotherapy, and admitted that she is ‘pleased’.
Celebrating the good news with husband Jon McEwan, Beverley raised a toast to ‘the next step’ with a glass of champagne.
The comments section of the post was quickly filled by well-wishes from celebrity friends and fans alike.
‘So proud of you Beverley,’ Loose Women and soap star Denise Welch wrote, while writer Russell T Davies added: ‘Wonderful news!’
‘So happy for you queen Bev,’ I’m a Celebrity star GK Barry said.
