Magda Szubanski has publicly disclosed her diagnosis of stage four mantle cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In an emotional Instagram video, the 64-year-old comedian shared that she has commenced treatment in Melbourne and anticipates losing her hair. While acknowledging the challenges of her diagnosis, she expressed gratitude for her supportive friends, family, and medical team. Szubanski highlighted the necessity of medical check-ups, having initially detected her condition following a breast screening that revealed swollen lymph nodes.
"I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive lymphoma. It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately. The good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team."
"TBH, I've been feeling pretty ratshit for ages. So I asked for extra bloods and voila! So the take away is get tested and listen to your body!"
