Friends and fans of Janey Godley have rallied for the star after she admitted she's feeling "overwhelmed" by her ongoing fight against cancer.
At the end of last year, the 61-year-old was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and in January she underwent a hysterectomy.
After the surgery, she was told she would need to undergo further treatment as her cancer had progressed to stage 3b so the stand-up comic faced a gruelling course of chemo, which she finished last week.
She's been open with followers on social media throughout her health battle, and has admitted it's had an impact on her mental health.
Today she gave fans on Twitter an insight into how she's been feeling, and admitted she's "scared".
She said: "The constant fear of waking up in anxiety, the horrible knowledge that cancer will be a part of my life until I die now is overwhelming, I accept I must be brave but is bravery simply being alive and pushing down all the fears to get through the next hour? I’m scared."
Janey's post resonated with hundreds of followers, friends and fans, who she later thanked for their "love".
Former EastEnders star Larry Lamb said: "You speak for everyone when you open up your heart like this Janey .. I send you love and admiration for your honesty and bravery xxLL."
One fan added: "I remember when I went through chemo. T drugs really knock you about & make you feel so vulnerable. You lose your confidence and think you'll never fully cope again. I'm 3 mths on now & feel stronger & more resilient than ever. Give it time. You'll get your sparkle back."
One said: "You are not alone. You are loved. You are in a safe place to feel these feelings. We are here with you."
Another pal, food writer activist Jack Monroe, even offered to provide Janey

near-death experience battling COVID and cancer. In an interview set to air on CBS “Sunday Morning” this Sunday, the 72-year-old recounted how serious his fight with lymphoma became after getting diagnosed with COVID and spending five weeks in the ICU. “Oh, man — what a journey,” Bridges recounted before admitting he “couldn’t breathe” and went through “amazing pain” during the ordeal.When interviewer Ben Mankiewicz asked whether he had moments where he thought, “Well, this might be it,” the “Big Lebowski” star responded, “Oh, the doctors, yeah – my wife would ask, ‘Is he gonna die?’ And they say, ‘We’re doing the best we can.’ They wouldn’t reassure her that it was all gonna be fine.” Bridges, who this year is celebrating 45 years of marriage to Susan Geston, also pondered that it was interesting how different people deal with mortality.
Janey Godley said she's determined not to worry too much as she awaits the results of her chemo treatment.
