So as I told you all, I had my ultrasounds today to find out if the lesions had shrunk. I also needed to check a lump that I&#8217;d found on the other breast, which is on the right breast,&#8221; she began.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"tracy shaw, lorraine\" title=\"Tracy Shaw, Lorraine\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1688\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/769e490d-4baf-4da7-b5c1-92a1224908e4.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>ITV<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;The good news is that the lump, well there&#8217;s actually quite a lot, are all cysts, so that&#8217;s good news and the lesions on my left breast&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"22\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;Well, my expectations were that judging by what personally I&#8217;ve gone through and what the chemo does, I thought they&#8217;d shrunk but basically they&#8217;ve gone from being circular to oval but not really shrunk in size.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I was expecting. I think I&#8217;m just expecting some results of what I&#8217;ve felt, some results of what the body has had to go through to!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Shaw explained that she would have to undergo &#8220;a few more rounds&#8221; of chemotherapy as she would be able to have surgery once the lesions have shrunk.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"36\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8230;maybe, maybe a few more rounds will be all it takes but I know they can&#8217;t operate until they shrink it,&#8221; she added. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"40\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I thought I&#8217;d give you a live update but I was just expecting some miracularlous miracle. But maybe it&#8217;s to come. All my love to you all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"44\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/coronation-street\/a71125565\/coronation-street-tracy-shaw-cancer-diagnosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/coronation-street\/a71125565\/coronation-street-tracy-shaw-cancer-diagnosis\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Shaw shared her diagnosis publicly\" data-node-id=\"44.0\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Shaw shared her diagnosis publicly<\/a> in April this year, detailing her treatment journey. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"48\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I have come on just to explain a situation that is happening in my life,&#8221; she said in a video on her Instagram.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"52\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Originally I was going to be having surgery in two weeks, but because my results have come back that I am HER2 positive, it means I have to have chemo for five months.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"56\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;Then [there is] hopefully surgery to have lumps removed and take the nymph glands out so they can do some more tests. And possibly more surgery before radiotherapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"60\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Her latest update was met with an outpouring of support from her fans as well as her Corrie co-star Sally Ann Matthews, who wrote: &#8220;Stick in there kidda xxxxxx&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"64\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Former Corrie star Kym Marsh also shared a message for Shaw, commenting: &#8220;So much love to you babe xx&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"68\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">If you would like more information or support about living with cancer or treatment, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macmillan.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.macmillan.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"click here\" data-node-id=\"68.0.1\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a> for guidance from <a href=\"https:\/\/breastcancernow.org\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/breastcancernow.org\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Macmillan Cancer Support\" data-node-id=\"68.0.3\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Macmillan Cancer Support<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standuptocancer.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.standuptocancer.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"click here\" data-node-id=\"68.0.5\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a> to learn more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standuptocancer.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.standuptocancer.org.uk\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Stand Up to Cancer\" data-node-id=\"68.0.7\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stand Up to Cancer<\/a>.<br data-node-id=\"68.1\"\/><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street star Tracy Shaw has shared a health update with her fans after undergoing chemotherapy following her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[131124,1105,238930,1107,93,61,60,184510,1135,238929,223989,131171],"class_list":["post-565932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-collection-latest-news","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-b8db2d7b-8464-42c3-b6fc-410ddab737fc","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-issyndicated-false","tag-locale-gb","tag-shorttitle-corries-tracy-shaw-shares-update-after-cancer-results","tag-sponsored-false","tag-subsection-coronation-street"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
