Lucy Davis 'Grateful' for Support After Cancer Diagnosis
The actress said she was grateful for the support after revealing incurable stage four breast cancer that has spread to her bones.
On Saturday, actor Lucy Davis made her first public appearance at the For The Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi convention in London, telling fans she was "grateful" for their support following her recent cancer diagnosis.
Davis announced on August 11 that she has incurable stage four breast cancer that metastasized to her bones 18 months after initial diagnosis, making it "too late" for chemotherapy.
Appearing alongside director Edgar Wright and actor Simon Pegg, Davis discussed her role in the 2004 film 'Shaun of the Dead', recalling when "we all pretended to be zombies and walked across the square; it was like being naughty schoolkids."
Fans posing questions told Davis "I love you so much" during the session, where she described the community as "this whole second family" and emphasized her gratitude for their kindness.
Davis previously wrote that she is trying to "live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can," finding teachable moments even amid negative circumstances.
