Coronation Street<\/a> legend Beverley Callard has shared another devastating update amid her gruelling breast cancer battle, telling followers on her fourth day post-op that she is struggling to eat. The 68-year-old – who revealed on February 19 that she was going in for a \u2018big operation\u2019<\/a> the following day to have lymph nodes removed as a precautionary measure to make sure the cancer hadn\u2019t spread, has been keeping her followers updated on her recovery <\/a>since the surgery.<\/p>\n

And on Tuesday, she admitted that she was struggling and hadn\u2019t posted the day before as she was \u2018completely knackered\u2019 and could ‘do nothing\u2019, adding that she was napping on and off all day and, \u2018couldn\u2019t even comb her hair.\u201d In the video, the beloved actress explained that her fourth husband Jon<\/a>, who she married in 2010, has been “force feeding her” as she had “no appetite whatsoever – but I\u2019m trying”.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cIm not in pain, I’m really sore under my arm and I still have dressings on. I don\u2019t know what I look like and I’m scared of that – I keep thinking, maybe this is too much information, but will John and I still be swinging from the chandeliers? Will l still be attractive or not? All that’s going through my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then added more optimistically, “I’ve got a hospital appointment at 11am tomorrow so I’ll find out if I need a second operation or not. But I\u2019m doing OK. I\u2019m doing OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beverley, who recently joined iconic Irish soap Fair City<\/a>, revealed earlier this month that her breast cancer was luckily caught in the \u2018early stages\u2019 – and that she had been inspired to speak out about her serious health battle by”strong, feisty women”, adding that she would need radiotherapy.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not the first cancer battle she has faced<\/a>. Beverley was diagnosed with cervical cancer at just 32 – but as she told fans, she \u201cbeat it\u201d then, and she can do it again.<\/p>\n

The actress broke the shock news of her breast cancer diagnosis on Ireland\u2019s Late Late Show<\/a> with Patrick Kielty, telling fans she was staying \u201cpositive and strong\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a hysterectomy and I was absolutely fine afterwards and so I know I can beat this. I am scared now vanity wise. I\u2019m scared what I will look like. I\u2019m scared about hair loss or whatever things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beverley became a household name thanks to Corrie, joining the cobbles in 1989, as Jim Donaldson\u2019s long-suffering wife – leaving the soap in 2020<\/a> after three decades, maintaining that she was quitting because she at the time that she wanted to explore other roles, and fight \u2018ageism\u2019 in the industry.<\/p>\n
