Beverley Callard has shared her latest health update, revealing she is in 'limbo' after suffering a 'nightmare' setback amid her breast cancer battle. The Coronation Street star, 69, previously announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and has continued to keep fans updated throughout her treatment.

On Saturday, the actress shared her feelings, admitting she was at a loss after learning that 'part of her stomach has eroded away.' In the first of her two videos shared on Instagram, the Liz McDonald actress told fans about her stomach issues following a visit to the oncology department at her hospital.

She noted, 'Still not got all the results of my stomach scan yet, but apparently part of my stomach has eroded away and I've got to have two lots of antibiotics and then a stomach care protector tablet.' The soap star also shared her experience of bonding with other cancer sufferers in the waiting room.

However, just hours later, Beverley returned to Instagram with a 'big update,' alarmingly captioning her post: '2 updates... so watch until the end!! Some not great news and some very sad news.'

The star explained in her video that she would need medication to treat the erosion in her stomach. In another blow to the beloved TV star, Beverley also revealed that the adoption of a dog she had fallen in love with had been cancelled.

The latest updates have drawn immense sympathy from her dedicated fanbase and fellow entertainment industry colleagues who have flooded her social media handles with get-well-soon messages. Beverley has always maintained a transparent relationship with her audience, openly discussing her personal triumphs and struggles over the decades of her illustrious television career.

Medical professionals continue to monitor her recovery closely, ensuring she receives the appropriate care required to manage these unexpected gastrointestinal complications during her oncology therapy. Despite the accumulating stress, the veteran performer remains resolute, focusing her energy on overcoming this hurdle and returning to full health as soon as possible.

Fans and well-wishers across the globe are keeping her in their thoughts, hoping for positive developments in her upcoming medical evaluations and overall healing journey.
