Comedian Janey Godley inundated with support on birthday after Stage 3 cancer diagnosis | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Janey later added she is having “very short panic attacks” thinking about her diagnosis, but also revealed she is in good hands and being cared for by her friend, Shirley.

She continued: “I’m absolutely terrified. I’m not brave in the least. I’m frightened, I’m in shock, but I have got really good people around me, that’s the best thing I can tell you.”

In December, Janey took to twitter to thank Countryfile host Julia Bradbury for her social media post listing symptoms of Stage 4 ovarian cancer, which prompted her to get tested.

Three months before, Julia told how she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later shared that she had undergone a mastectomy.
