Judith Lucy has revealed that she had suffered a head injury just days after being told she had breast cancer.
The beloved comedian opened up about the moments after her diagnosis and how she attempted to cope with her “cancer situation” by turning to sleeping pills and alcohol.
The 58-year-old admitted it was a bad idea after she hit her head on a small table.
“So I wanted to own the fact that while I’m currently doing okay with the cancer situation (I have no doubt that the roller coaster of emotions will continue) this is a photo from an ‘event’ that happened 9 days after my diagnosis,” she shared.
“It looks a little like my doctor said, ‘You have cancer’, and then I decided to punch myself in the face. Not an unreasonable response but it’s actually the result of combining booze and sleeping pills and then doing the tango with a small table.”
The comedian found humour in the situation saying: “When my surgeon removed the bandage she said comfortingly, ‘It just blends in with the other lines on your forehead.’ Thank god my modelling career isn’t over.”
“Obviously the takeaway is don’t combine wine and pills … when you have cancer,” she concluded.
Judith revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last week, and is set to undergo a double mastectomy, sharing her brave farewell online.
“I think I’m quite fine with going bra-free for my last chapter, and my last chapter is going to be very long and healthy,” she said.
