The Australian actress announced back in May that she had diagnosed with stage-four mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive type of blood cancer. At the time, she uploaded a video showing off her shaven head “in anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks”.

Szubanski revealed that the disease had been found “incidentally” after she underwent a breast screening that drew attention to the fact her lymph nodes were swollen.

“It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately,” she said at the time, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “The good thing is I’m surrounded by beautiful friends, family and an incredible medical support team. Honestly, we have the best in the world here in Australia, particularly in Melbourne. I feel very fortunate.”

“New treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time,” the actress added.

In more recent updates concerning her ongoing battle, Szubanski sought to remind fans and followers that her immune system is weakened.
