Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has given fans an honest update on her health after finishing radiotherapy treatment as part of her breast cancer journey.
The 69-year-old actress, who was diagnosed earlier this year, has kept followers informed throughout her treatment, sharing both the highs and the tougher moments along the way. Last week, she celebrated completing all 10 of her radiotherapy sessions, a milestone she initially felt hopeful about.
However, in a video posted to Instagram on Monday, Beverley admitted the days following treatment hit harder than expected. She explained that while she'd managed relatively well throughout most of her radiotherapy, only occasionally feeling unwell, the aftermath of finishing has left her feeling "dreadful."
Sitting on her bed as she recorded the update, Beverley reflected on the assumption that finishing treatment would immediately bring relief, only to find her body still adjusting in the days that followed. Her openness about the ups and downs of recovery has resonated with fans, many of whom have thanked her for being so transparent about a process that isn't always straightforward.
Beverley's continued honesty throughout her cancer journey has struck a chord with followers, offering a real, unfiltered look at what treatment and recovery can genuinely feel like, beyond just the milestone moments.
