Szubanski announced her cancer was in remission in February.\u00a0Instagram\/@Magda_szubanski<\/p>\n

In February, the\u00a0Kath and Kim<\/a>\u00a0star announced she was in remission after treatment for stage four mantle cell lymphoma, a rare blood cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve completed chemo, and I am now in remission,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhew, big relief. It\u2019s not a cure, but because I got a good remission, that hopefully means that I will keep the cancer at bay for a good long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
