The Scots comedian is currently battling cancer and, despite taking on a UK comedy tour, is also still receiving chemotherapy in between shows.
Janey's work has been recognised and she won 'Comedian's comedian' at the Chortle Awards.
And Janey took to Twitter to thank everyone for nominating her for the award, in a video where she can be seen receiving chemotherapy treatment.
Janey said: "Hey everybody it's Janey here, and I'm actually getting my chemotherapy right now, I want to thank everybody who voted me, I mean I've no done comedy in a year so I think yous are very misguided but thanks everybody this has fair lifted me up and I canny wait to see you all."
She added: "This is such a lovely lovely honour and it's obvious that I had to almost die to get it but ye know, that's comedy for ye! but thanks, yous are all amazing."
And many fans congratulated the 62-year-old on the award.
One wrote: "You are so deserving. Congratulations."
Another added: "Well deserved Janey."
While one said: "Well deserved Janey! You’re an inspiration."
Earlier this month, Janey kicked off her UK tour in Arbroath and said it felt "amazing" being back on stage for the first time since her cancer diagnosis.
Ahead of her performance, Janey told fans yesterday that this would be the "last tour of this life" after confirming in December that her ovarian cancer had returned following the all-clear last summer.
Shortly after the gig, she posted on social media, saying: "First time onstage on tour after the cancer diagnosis and it was amazing, yes it’s being filmed as well! Thanks Arbroath."

Ethan Shanfeld “Party Down” was an underdog show about underdogs — out-of-luck caterers who dreamed of one day rubbing shoulders with Hollywood rainmakers rather than serving them hors d’oeuvres. In the series, which ran on Starz for two seasons (2009-10), an ensemble cast led by Adam Scott and Ken Marino paraded around Los Angeles, working funerals, orgies and everything in between. The scrappy comedy got creative with a small budget, centering episodes around a corporate picnic or a one-man birthday party, which didn’t require hiring extras. Showrunner and co-creator John Enbom says the team wouldn’t pitch a “dog wedding,” for example, because they knew they “couldn’t afford to hire 20 animal trainers.”
Julia MacCary editor What would happen if “Glee” cutthroat cheer coach Sue Sylvester met ditzy “Party Down” actor Constance Carmell? Well, according to Jane Lynch, the performer behind both characters, the two would actually get along quite nicely. “I think they’d be fast friends,” Lynch told Variety at the Season 3 premiere of “Party Down.” “Constance is not the smartest person in the world, but she’s confident in her own goodness. And she has great self-esteem, and deep down inside Sue Sylvester does not. They would be a great…good cop, bad cop. They could do a comic cop show, but I would have to play both characters, and it would be a lot more. Wouldn’t it be great, though?”
