The Office actress Lucy Davis has said she was diagnosed with “incurable” stage-four breast cancer.
The 53-year-old actress, who is the daughter of comedian Jasper Carrott, is best known for playing Dawn Tinsley in the BBC sitcom.
In a post shared on Tuesday she said was diagnosed a year and a half ago and the cancer has “metastasized” to her bones including her spine, right hip and ribs, and it is “too late” for chemotherapy.
She said: “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.
“As some of you will know, the pain can really be something else. Standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes (so if you see me toddling around in one, feel free to give me a push!)”
