Corrie's Tracy Shaw in tears at A&E amid breast cancer battle
Shaw said chemotherapy has left her immune system low as she thanked NHS staff and described the challenge of seeking care in A&E.
Actress Tracy Shaw shared an emotional update from A&E after experiencing high temperatures that spiked several times during her ongoing chemotherapy treatment.
The 52-year-old star, who portrayed Maxine Peacock on ITV's Coronation Street from 1995 to 2003, revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year and is currently undergoing demanding chemotherapy treatment.
Despite praising NHS staff for providing a separate room, Shaw criticized broken air conditioning and workmen entering without masks near her vulnerable immune system.
A workman's refusal to close the door during repairs caused a 15-minute delay for the nurse, with Shaw describing his conduct as "really rude" to staff.
Visibly emotional while posting on Instagram, Shaw emphasized the difficulty of navigating A&E when surrounded by patients with potentially "minor" complaints while immunocompromised.
