Davina McCall shares breast cancer diagnosis
Davina said: āHello. Iām talking about this because I think it might help someone and this is what I always do.
āI just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer.
āI found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went. But then, I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine Kelly had put signs on the back of all the doors saying check your breasts, so every time I went for a wee I did that, and it was still there.
āThen one morning I saw it in the mirror and thought, Iām going to get that looked at. I had a biopsy. I found out it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago. And the margins, they take out a little bit extra, the margins are clear. It was very, very small so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky.ā
Treatment plan shared
Davina continued, revealing sheāll now undergo radiotherapy.
āI am so relieved to have had it removed and to know that it hasnāt spread. My lymph nodes are clear, I didnāt have any removed, and all Iām going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January as kind of an insurance policy. And then I am on my journey to try and stop it ever coming back.ā
āI was very angryā
She then gave her thanks to everyone at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Davina also thanked her family, āher brilliant kids and an extra special thanks toĀ Michaelā, her fiancĆ©.
Davina then said: āItās been a lot. I was very angry when I found out. But I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.
āI think my message is, get checked if you are worried. Check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram, then get it done. I have dense breasts and I had a mammogram in August and I was postponing the ultrasound, I didnāt have time to do it. Donāt do that, get the ultrasound. And thanks for watching and Iām sending you all a massive hug.ā
