The Office actress Lucy Davis shares devastating ‘incurable’ cancer diagnosis

The Office actress Lucy Davis has opened up to fans in an extraordinarily brave and moving post, revealing that she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer eighteen months ago. 

The star, best known for her iconic roles in The Office, Shaun of the Dead and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, shared that the cancer has metastasised to her bones, specifically her spine, right hip, and ribs, making it incurable. 

Reflecting on her initial symptoms, Lucy urged her followers never to ignore subtle body changes, recalling that her initial symptom was not a typical lump, but rather a “really tiny” hard spot she almost didn’t get checked. 

A post from actress Lucy Davis on Instagram said: “I wanted to share something with you all that I’ve kept to myself for a while but for various reasons would like to share now. 

“A year-and-a-half ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, which has metastasised to my bones. Specifically to my spine, right hip and my ribs. The cancer is incurable, and too late for chemo. “The initial lump that I felt, wasn’t a ‘lump’ as such; rather a kind of hard spot. Really tiny. I almost didn’t bother getting it checked. So I guess I’m saying don’t ignore anything – get everything checked out. 

“As of now, I’m trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can. I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens. And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there’s a lot I have learned from it, and I’m grateful for that.” 

She added: “I’m not scared of whatever comes next. I’m at peace with it. I’ll see my Gracie sooner than expected, and for me, leaving my physical body just means going home. Any and all grieving is for my family; it’s far harder for them than for me.”
