Davina McCall Says 'Most Important Step' in Emotional Cancer Update
Davina McCall shared her early breast cancer diagnosis to highlight the importance of regular checks and early detection, inspired by her sister's late-stage lung cancer death.
- On Friday night, Davina McCall presented Channel 4's Cancer Clinic: Live from Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, saying, `Earlier this year I found a lump in my breast, it was found early and surgeons were able to remove it.`
- McCall recounted a family emergency involving her sister Caroline that shaped her urgency on early diagnosis, saying `She died seven weeks later`; she also had surgery last year to remove a benign brain tumour.
- They opened the clinic late especially for Stand Up To Cancer, with patients who allowed filming in real appointments; one fainting case led to a brain scan and chest scan revealing late-stage lung cancer.
- McCall is to have five days of radiotherapy in January as a short `insurance policy` against recurrence and urged the public to get checked, saying `Don't be afraid, you are your own best defence.`
- This year's Channel 4 telethon was hosted by The Last Leg presenter Hills, Vicky Pattison, Clare Balding and Hannah Fry, featuring Alex Horne's 24-hour song and a celebrity Gogglebox with David Tennant and Kieran Culkin.
