Soap actress Ali Bastian, known for her roles in Hollyoaks, Doctors, and The Bill, has shared the uplifting news that she is now cancer-free. The 43-year-old revealed last year that she had been diagnosed with stage two breast cancer after discovering a lump while breastfeeding her daughter.
Bastian, who underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, announced on Instagram that she was in her final week of radiotherapy, marking the end of her active treatment. "I had my mastectomy in January, which was thankfully a success and has healed really well. It proved that my chemo had worked. As I sit here right now, I’m free from cancer. I can’t even believe it," she wrote.
Bastian expressed gratitude for the support she received throughout her journey and thanked the nurses and consultants at Cork University Hospital for their compassion and care.
Bastian acknowledged that her recovery would not be linear, but promised to continue sharing her experience with honesty. She also emphasized the importance of unconditional love and support for those undergoing cancer treatment. "People with cancer need love. Full stop. Unconditional, arms-around-you love and support. I’ve really felt that from you all, and from the most unexpected of places. When it’s dark, look for stars."
Bastian's story serves as a beacon of hope and resilience for others facing similar battles.
