Adele Roberts shares worrying update from hospital as she undergoes tests three years on from cancer all-clear

Adele got the all-clear from cancer in 2022

TV star Adele Roberts has shared a worrying update to fans from hospital as she undergoes tests.

The worrying tests come three years after Adele had been given the all-clear from bowel cancer in 2022. She initially underwent surgery for her cancer in October 2021. Following the surgery, she also had chemotherapy and got a stoma placed.

But now, three years later, Adele revealed on Instagram that she is undergoing tests for another health condition.

Adele Roberts hospital dash for tests

Adele took to her Instagram to share that she was undergoing blood tests to find the reason for her low iron count.

It seems the reason could be down to her previous cancer experience, and she could still be feeling the consequences.

She shared an image of herself and her partner, Kate Holderness, in the waiting room of the cardiology department in hospital. Adele told her followers: “Having a blood test today for my anaemia. Hopefully this one will go well and I will get more medication.

“We’re not sure why my iron count is low. Either damage to my blood from chemo or due to having a stoma. Without my medication, I have no energy. I’m not running at the moment. And I am so tired all of the time.”

Adele told her fans that she hopes she gets more medication as if she doesn’t she fears she will be “consistently falling asleep until I die”.

Later the same day, Adele uploaded another image of her arm covered in plasters from where the needles had been inserted.

Adele went on to explain how her low iron count was discovered in the first place. And she has the Dancing On Ice show doctor to thank for it.

She explained that she had “casually mentioned” to the doctor that she was “crushing ice” a lot with her teeth.

She said: “He worked out that I probably had a problem with iron in my blood. So, they sent me for tests and it came back that I had anaemia and then they said ‘You can’t be on the show’.”

Adele Roberts cancer journey

Adele opened up earlier this year about the effects chemotherapy had on her. And she revealed she lost the ability to use her fingers.

Speaking back in January on Monday Mile Podcast, Adele said: “Chemotherapy is different for every single person. And with me, it really affected my skin.

“So, it took my fingerprints off. I couldn’t use my fingers, I couldn’t use touch screens. And I couldn’t use my phone, self-checkouts or anything like that. It really damaged the bottom of my feet – it looked like they had been burnt or something like that. And it also turned my tongue black.”

But she remained positive because she gained the mindset of if the treatment is doing that to her, then it must be attacking her cancer.

“I just used to visualise all of the chemotherapy going through my body and killing any cancer cells. It was a way for me to stay mentally strong.”
