‘The Office’ star Lucy Davis reveals incurable cancer diagnosis: ‘I’m trying to live out whatever might be left of my life’

Actress Lucy Davis, known for her roles in The Office, Shaun of the Dead and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, has revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer around a year and a half ago.

The 53-year-old actress shared the news in an Instagram post, saying the cancer has metastasised to her bones, including her spine, right hip and ribs. Davis said doctors have told her the cancer is incurable and that it is too late for chemotherapy.

Davis said she initially noticed a “tiny lump” but did not want to have it checked. Sharing the experience publicly, she urged others not to ignore symptoms or delay seeking medical attention.

She wrote, “Hi friends, :) 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.”
