Magda Szubanski Shares Cancer Update
Actress Magda Szubanski, 64, has shared a heartfelt health update from her hospital bed while undergoing treatment for stage-
four mantle cell lymphoma.
In an Instagram video, she thanked 10-year-old Annabella from Adelaide for dressing up as her Kath & Kim character Sharon Strzelecki:
“I’m in here having chemo and it really cheered me up… Thank you my sweet. Lots of love to you.”
She added in her caption, “Chemo is smacking me around right now.”
Szubanski first revealed her diagnosis in May, explaining the cancer was found “incidentally” during a breast screening.
“It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately,” she said, but praised her strong support system and Australia’s medical care:
“I feel very fortunate.”
More recently, she reminded fans to keep their distance:
“Don’t hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.”
