Comedian Judith Lucy announces early-stage breast cancer diagnosis and upcoming surgery
Australian comedian Judith Lucy revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in an Instagram video shared on Tuesday afternoon.
Initial screening results lead to discovery
Lucy received an email from BreastScreen Australia indicating that her mammogram result was unusual. She stated that a lumpectomy performed last week identified additional cancerous tissue requiring further treatment.
Surgical plan involves double mastectomy
The comedian confirmed she will undergo a double mastectomy next week to remove both breasts. Although the cancer was detected in one breast, doctors found it necessary to proceed with removing the other as well.
Medical team describes condition carefully
Lucy described the cancer as early stage and relatively non-aggressive during her video update. She expressed confidence that her last chapter would be long and healthy following the procedure.
