she wrote on Instagram <\/a>alongside of a photo showing breathing tubes in her nose. \u201cI\u2019d been very tired, my body hurt, doing even small things felt hard, and I had a cough that wouldn\u2019t go away. I thought it would pass, it was winter and a lot was going around, and also maybe this is just what getting old feels like.\u201d<\/p>\nSalomon said doctors gave her steroids and an antibiotic for what they believed was bronchitis, but it didn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought something isn\u2019t right,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe chest x-ray was really concerning so I was told to go to the ER for a CT Scan and whatever else they thought I needed. After a terrifying night at the ER, more scans, MRIs and a lung biopsy, I learned that I have advanced lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
She did provide some hopeful information from her doctors.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been told it is treatable,\u201d Salomon wrote. \u201cThey keep telling me I am young and strong. I am also otherwise healthy. I have an incredible group of friends, so much love and support, and my mum and sister who have really really showed up for me. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to be OK because I have to be,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m also going to have to quit life for a little bit to put all my energy into fighting this. I may be here sometimes. I might feel well enough to write. I\u2019m not sure. But if you don\u2019t see me here it\u2019s because I\u2019m working to get better. I hope to rejoin the bigger fight (s) and comedy stages again soon. Love and solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salomon is a stand-up comedian from Montreal who is best known for her 2024 comedy album \u201cSad Witch.\u201d<\/p>\n
