Janey Godley, a ScottisJaney Godley, a Scottish comedian, has disclosed that she is currently undergoing end-of-life treatment for her aggressive form of cancer.
The 63-year-old woman, who gained widespread recognition for her dubbed imitations of Nicola Sturgeon’s COVID-19 news briefings during the pandemic, made the announcement that she will be entering a hospice in a video that was broadcast on X on Wednesday evening.
In November of 2021, she disclosed for the first time that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer; however, she was declared all-clear the next year when a scan revealed “no evidence of the disease.”
However, she then reported that another scan had revealed symptoms of the disease in her abdomen, and she added that she will continue travelling until further notice.
During the course of the video, the comedian made the following statement: “So, I’m now in palliative care, and I’m at end-of-life care now in the hospital.”
Because the chemotherapy had exhausted all of its choices, I just could not take any more of it, and the cancer had already spread.
“So, it looks like this will be getting to near the end of it, and it’s really difficult to speak about this and say to people.”
The National Health Service (NHS) and others who have provided care for her, as well as charitable organisations, her family, friends, and fans, were all praised by Godley for their support.
Because of her stage four ovarian cancer, which had been put at bay with therapy provided by the National Health Service (NHS) over the course of the previous few years, she decided to cancel her autumn tour earlier this month. The cancer had returned with additional difficulties.
She continued by saying, “It is devastating news to know that I’m facing end-of-life, but we all come to an end sometime,” in the new video.
“I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has shown their support for the family, particularly my husband and [her daughter] Ashley.
I am not sure how much longer I have until someone enquires about it, but the huge response that I have received has been really impressive. Not a TikTok user, I am.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the love and support that you have shown me during this journey. The phrase “two in one” appears to suggest that cancer affects one in two persons, and I am one of those people.
She wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and stated that she is hoping to be here for the holiday, but she is not positive.
