Soap legend shares emotional update as she continues cancer treatment

Coronation Street actor Beverley Callard has revealed she has been referred to a stomach specialist for further tests as she continues treatment for breast cancer.

The 69-year-old was diagnosed earlier this year and has shared regular updates about her treatment with fans.

Sharing her latest video on Tuesday (1 September), the actor told fans she is “torturing” herself after a doctor told her she needs to rest more.

She said: “They want me to have some more scans and they also want me to see a stomach specialist, a gastroenterologist, because something's not quite right.

“He said I'm overdoing it, which I know. And he said I've got to rest a bit more, which I know. But it's really hard because I just can't because if I lay down because I'm tired, my mind tortures... I torture myself. So it's quite hard.”
