Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has provided an update on her ongoing battle with breast cancer, revealing that she is finding it difficult to eat following her recent surgery. The 68-year-old actress underwent a major operation to remove lymph nodes as a precautionary measure to ensure the cancer had not spread. Since then, she has been updating her followers on her recovery progress.
In a recent update, Beverley expressed her struggles and exhaustion, mentioning that she was too tired to post the day before and was resting throughout the day. Her husband, Jon, has been assisting her with eating as she has had little appetite. Despite feeling sore under her arm and being anxious about her appearance post-surgery, Beverley remains hopeful and mentioned an upcoming hospital appointment to determine if a second operation is needed.
Beverley, known for her role in Coronation Street and her recent appearance in Fair City, shared that her breast cancer was caught early and that she will require radiotherapy. This is not her first encounter with cancer, having previously battled cervical cancer at the age of 32. The actress remains positive and determined to overcome this challenge.
Having left Coronation Street in 2020 after three decades on the show, Beverley aims to tackle ageism in the industry and explore new acting opportunities. Despite facing uncertainties about her appearance and potential side effects of treatment, Beverley remains resilient and optimistic about her journey towards recovery.
