Beverley Callard Shares Hospital Video as She Undergoes Lymph-Node Surgery for Early Breast Cancer

The 68-year-old says the cancer was caught early with radiotherapy planned after a precautionary lymph-node procedure.

Overview

  • Callard posted a video from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on Friday as she went in for surgery to remove two lymph nodes.
  • Doctors told her they were confident the nodes were clear, and the removal is to confirm the cancer has not spread.
  • She said the wait for surgery was the hardest part, reported feeling strong and positive, and voiced worries about how she will look after the operation.
  • She praised NHS staff at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital as truly amazing for the time and care given to patients.
  • The Coronation Street alum announced the diagnosis on Feb. 6 soon after starting work on RTÉ’s Fair City in Dublin, and she says radiotherapy will follow.
