Beverley Callard Gives Major 'Champagne' Update in Cancer Battle
Tests found the cancer in a lymph node is low-grade, allowing Callard to move to radiotherapy after surgery and further checks.
On Thursday, actress Beverley Callard announced on Instagram she can soon begin radiotherapy after receiving positive test results on her lymph nodes, describing the findings as "absolutely great news."
Callard, who moved to Ireland for the BBC soap Fair City, first disclosed her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in February and later learned the cancer had spread to a lymph node following surgery.
After sending lymph node samples to America for analysis, the Coronation Street star expressed relief, writing, "Well... the results are in and we are popping the champagne!"
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded social media with support, including I'm A Celebrity... South Africa co-star Seann Walsh, who wrote, "Oh my God, I'm so happy Bev."
The positive update follows Callard's withdrawal from the I'm A Celebrity live final last autumn due to health issues, which she later revealed marked the beginning of her diagnosis.
