Janey Godley says she is in shock after being told she has stage three ovarian cancer following her hysterectomy.
The news means Janey's cancer has spread beyond her ovaries and will now require further treatment. Stage 3b means there are cancer growths 2cm or smaller in size on the lining of the abdomen and there may also be cancer in the lymph nodes.
It is classed as advanced ovarian cancer and main treatments are surgery and chemotherapy.
Janey is currently staying with a friend while she recuperates from surgery she underwent earlier this month.
And she told her followers on Instagram that she felt 'really vulnerable and frightened' upon hearing the news.
In a video she said: "Well, I've been through the hysterectomy and I'm staying at my friend Shirley's. She's a good pal, she's got a spare room, medical expertise and she's really good at making a cup of tea.
She added: "The hysterectomy was a really big operation so I'm recovering slowly. Before I left the hospital they managed to give me the pathology.
"It was a very, very tense moment and it turns out that I've got stage three b ovarian cancer which wasn't the result I was hoping for, but nobody gets the results they want I suppose."
Janey admitted she and her family had been in shock following the prognosis.
She said: "Stage three ovarian cancer, like many cancers, is treatable and people live with it. It's been quite a shock. It's been quite a shock to all of us. My husband and Ashley are back at home and they are just processing all this information too.
"There are people watching this who live for years with treatable cancers and that's what I'm hoping to do as well. I'd like to say I'm brave and I'm strong but I'm really really vulnerable and frightened as well
