Beloved Aussie star Magda Szubanski has revealed she has stage 4 cancer.
The 64-year-old comedian, actress, author, singer and LGBT activist shared her Mantle Cell Lymphoma diagnosis on social media on Thursday.
She is currently receiving treatment after a breast screen flagged swollen lymph nodes, prompting further tests that eventually revealed the “rare and fast-moving blood cancer”, she said.

“Lovelies. Well. Some not great news.
“It’s serious, but I’ve started one of the best treatments available (the Nordic protocol), and I’m lucky to be getting absolutely world-class care here in Melbourne.
“I won’t sugar-coat it: it’s rough.
“But I’m hopeful. I’m being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant, and I’ve never felt more held by the people around me.
“I’ll be lying very low while my immune system takes a hammering, so if you see me out and about — don’t hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.
“This is an obscure cancer and was only discovered incidentally via a breast screen where they found my lymph nodes were up.
“TBH (to be honest), I’ve been feeling pretty ratshit for ages. So I asked for extra bloods and — voila! So the takeaway is — get tested and listen to your body!”
