Davina McCall Reveals Early Breast Cancer Removed, Radiotherapy Set for January

She credits Lorraine’s Change+Check reminders for prompting the examination that caught the tumour at a very early stage.

Overview

  • McCall, 58, said in an Instagram video that a lump she found weeks ago was confirmed as breast cancer and removed in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago.
  • The operation achieved clear margins and her lymph nodes were clear, with doctors describing the tumour as very small and detected very early.
  • She plans a five‑day course of radiotherapy in January as a precaution, describing it as an insurance policy against recurrence.
  • Thanking the Royal Marsden team, her children and partner Michael Douglas, she said initial anger has given way to a more positive outlook.
  • Lorraine Kelly and her show’s Change+Check campaign were praised for the reminders that spurred McCall to act, with Kelly noting the effort has helped more than 100 people identify cancer early.
