Speaking in the video, Ms Callard said: “I’ve done it, I’ve just finished my last radiotherapy session, fingers crossed. <\/p>\n
“That was number 10 for me and lots of people have to have lots more, I know that. But for now, that’s finished so hopefully, don’t know for sure, but hopefully I won’t need any more.”<\/p>\n

Her husband Jon McEwan, who was filming, offered encouragement: “Positive thinking, darling, that’s it.”<\/p>\n
The actress admitted to mixed emotions about reaching this point.<\/p>\n
“To be honest, I feel a bit numb,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Yesterday I really struggled, but today I’ve been fine.”<\/p>\n
Ms Callard explained that further medical appointments lie ahead, with a consultation scheduled with her professor in two months’ time.<\/p>\n
“I’ve got to see the professor again in two months and then I’ll know a lot more and mammograms and oncologists and all that, but radiotherapy is finished for now, so I’m really thrilled,” she said.<\/p>\n
Despite the momentous occasion, the actress opted against any grand celebration.<\/p>\n
“I’m not going to celebrate tonight, we’re too tired, we can’t be bothered,” she explained.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to put scruffy clothes on and just sit and watch TV with a cup of tea.”<\/p>\n
The actress previously spoke about discovering her diagnosis during an appearance on RT\u00c9’s The Late Late Show with Patrick Kielty.<\/p>\n
She recalled receiving a call from her consultant whilst preparing in her dressing room at Fair City, where she had recently taken on the role of Lily Patterson.<\/p>\n
“I was in my dressing room at Fair City, getting ready to go on, and I was quite nervous and thinking, ‘I hope everybody thinks I’m all right’, and my consultant rang me and said, ‘You’ve got to come back to the UK,'” she told the programme.<\/p>\n
