Judith Lucy announces breast cancer diagnosis and planned double mastectomy
Australian comedian Judith Lucy announced her recent breast cancer diagnosis and upcoming surgery via social media today.
Diagnosis details and timeline
Lucy stated she received the medical news three weeks ago. Her doctor initially planned a lumpectomy but found additional cancer last week. She decided to remove both breasts instead of just one.
Personal reaction to illness
The comedian described feeling shocked yet okay with her situation. She expressed willingness to go bra-free for the final chapter of her life. Lucy noted that the cancer is relatively non-aggressive and in early stages.
Context of recent book release
She released a wellness book titled Well Well Well just before this announcement. Lucy used her platform to address the difficult situation directly with followers. She remarked that there are no quick fixes for health issues like this.
