Katherine Ryan issues update to fans worrying over second cancer diagnosis


Katherine Ryan has issued a statement to fans after revealing she has been diagnosed with cancer for a second time, with the comedian and TV star now having undergone surgery to remove a cancerous mole from her arm

Katherine opened up to her podcast listeners about a concerning health scare, explaining: "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 then explained why she pushed for further action: "I went in and I wanted the doctor to remove a bigger piece of it and stitch it up in a straight line, but even when he looked at it, he was like, 'not melanoma, totally fine, I will do the shave and send it away for histology, and then if it comes back with anything, if there's any borders that we missed, then we'll do the deeper cut.
