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.
