Beverley Callard Says She Felt She Was Losing Cancer Battle Before Positive Test Results

Beverley Callard cancer update, Digi Mart USA News (Manchester Evening News): Beverley Callard has said she thought she was ‘losing’ her cancer battle as she shared a more positive update after recently receiving the results of tests she had been waiting weeks for.

Fans may recall that the Coronation Street star announced in February that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, ahead of her first appearance in the Irish soap Fair City. She underwent radiotherapy over the summer after initially having surgery, and has documented her journey on social media.

Beverley, who played Liz McDonald in the ITV soap filmed in Salford, was left waiting for weeks after doctors advised further scans of her stomach due to symptoms including nausea. At the end of last month she said she was still awaiting results and had been so unwell that she missed work for the first time.

In an early November update, Beverley fought back tears as she said she was ‘sick of having cancer’. Last week she shared more hopeful news: after a five-week wait for stomach biopsy results, the tests found “chronic inflammation and H.

pylori bacteria, but no stomach cancer whatsoever”, and she told followers that “the fight is back on.”

In a new video shared on Wednesday, November 11, Beverley said it had taken a couple of days for the results to sink in. “It’s definitely not stomach cancer, which I was over the moon with,” she said, adding that after weeks of waiting people often assume the worst even while trying to stay optimistic.

She admitted that during the days before the results she had felt so ill that she thought, “I’m losing the battle here.” She recalled bursting into tears at work when a colleague, actress Una, asked how she was doing.

Beverley said she is now feeling much better, apologised for moaning and said she has been speaking with others going through similar processes. She added that she is still too nauseous to go out, but sent love to everyone following her journey.
