Davina McCall Says Follow-Up Breast Cancer Check Is All Clear

Early detection, a lumpectomy, then short radiotherapy produced a favorable early outcome.

Overview

  • McCall said on Friday on her Making The Cut podcast that her latest breast check was clear.
  • She had a lumpectomy in October after finding a small lump while working on ITV's The Masked Singer.
  • Tests showed clear margins and no cancer in her lymph nodes after surgery.
  • She finished five days of radiotherapy in January as an "insurance policy" to lower the risk of recurrence.
  • She urged women to self-check because a recent mammogram can miss a new lump in dense breast tissue, with outlets also noting breast cancer is the most common cancer for women in the UK.
