Beverley Callard, the legendary Coronation Street actress, has given fans an update on her health following a “chaotic” hospital visit as she prepares to begin radiotherapy treatment. Supporters have expressed their heartfelt concern and sent messages of encouragement to the 69-year-old star.
“A Long and Chaotic Day”
In an Instagram video, Beverley described her recent hospital visit as:
“A long day! Lots of tests and scans, and then more tests…”
She explained that her meeting with the radiotherapy team was somewhat chaotic due to a computer system failure, which caused delays and a long wait for many patients. From her hospital bed, Beverley shared:
“So far, they’ve checked my blood pressure – it’s high, of course, because I’m nervous. They’ve taken blood and measured my oxygen levels, and now they’ll see if I can get a scan before receiving the results of the blood tests.”
A Surprise but Lucky Discovery
Later in the video, Beverley revealed some reassuring news:
“The good news is it’s definitely not a blood clot. They did every ultrasound and every test… and it turns out to be a cyst, which is quite common.”
The cyst is located behind her knee, which had caused her some worry, but doctors reassured her that it’s a common condition. Beverley added:
“I’m not thrilled to have something so common, but at least it’s not serious.”
Fans quickly shared their support:
“Wishing you a speedy recovery! We’re all behind you!”
“You did the right thing getting it checked. So glad it’s just a cyst, sending you hugs and love.”
Radiotherapy Plan
Beverley met with Professor Armstrong, who is overseeing her radiotherapy treatment. According to her update:
- Total of 10 days of radiotherapy
- Split into 5 consecutive days, a weekend break, then another 5 days
However, Beverley has not yet been told the exact start date, which has left her feeling slightly anxious. She commented:
“Everything was a bit chaotic because the hospital computer system went down, so there were lots of people waiting.”
Despite this, she remains positive and determined to face the upcoming treatment.
Fan Support and Reactions
Beverley’s updates have always drawn significant attention from her followers, particularly when they concern her health. Many fans sent messages of encouragement, reminding her to stay positive and not worry too much. One wrote:
“Beverley, you are an inspiration. Stay strong, and know that everyone loves you!”
The outpouring of support has helped the actress feel reassured and motivated as she prepares for radiotherapy.
