Former Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has shared another update on her cancer after a hospital visit this week. The actor, best known for playing Liz McDonald, was diagnosed with breast cancer back in January.
Last month she explained that she went through an operation to have three lymph nodes removed, and dependant on whether the cancer is aggressive or not, she would either have chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
In this latest update, Callard explained that she will be going through radiotherapy soon, but noted that the doctors feel she should have already started it.

In an Instagram video, Callard said: "Well I went to the hospital today at quarter past 3, and they all seemed very nice, obviously they're new to me.
"They are a little concerned because they think I should've started the radiotherapy before now.

"But of course because we moved house, it took a while for my records, my medical records, to come from England to Ireland etc, but they've all arrived.
"I've got to go back on Thursday morning to see some more doctors and medical people and then they will begin it soon. So it went okay, it went okay."

The actor moved countries to join the Irish soap Fair City, and previously stated that she received the diagnosis via phone call while in her dressing room before going on set.
Recently, there was renewed speculation about a Corrie return, as the soap has killed off Jim McDonald off-screen and revealed that he had fathered a child through an affair.
"I can't now because I'm filming something else but I think you should never say never," she said.
She also explained that she felt Liz lacked storylines, but also couldn't deal with "all day, every day" workload.
Overall though, she said: "I loved my time there, you don't stay in something for 32 years if you didn't love it."
