Beverley Callard Finishes Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

Beverley Callard, renowned for her role as Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, has successfully completed her final radiotherapy session. The 69-year-old actress revealed this significant milestone via an Instagram video, expressing her profound relief and optimism.

Callard had disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier in February and commenced radiotherapy treatment shortly thereafter. Her announcement detailed that she underwent ten sessions in total, acknowledging that many patients require more extensive treatment. She is scheduled to meet with her professor in two months for further evaluations, including mammograms and consultations with oncologists.

This health update follows Callard's recent appearance on 'I'm A Celebrity... South Africa,' filmed last autumn. She had experienced a 'funny turn' and left the competition early. Post-show, she revealed that this departure coincided with the onset of her breast cancer diagnosis, a revelation that made watching the series back an emotional experience.

Recently, Callard and her husband, Jon McEwan, relocated to Ireland, where she has taken on the role of Lily Patterson in the Irish soap opera, Fair City.
