Katherine Ryan gives health update as she undergoes another surgery after revealing she's battling cancer for the second time


The comedian, 41, announced that she had been diagnosed with a cancerous mole on her arm last week, after having another melanoma when she was younger.

Speaking on her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything last week, she explained: 'The only reason that they agreed to remove it was because I went to a fancy private place in South Kensington and I paid them a grand. Katherine was born and raised in Canada but moved to London in her early twenties to pursue her comedy career (pictured with husband Bobby Kootstra in 2024) Targeted medicines and immotherapy are used to treat melanomas that can't be dealt with by surgery, or have spread to lymph glands or other parts of the body.
