Star of “Big Bang Theory,” Kate Miccuci, announced last week on social media that she had surgery after being diagnosed with lung cancer. She now claims to be cancer-free.
Miccuci posted an update on her TikTok page over the weekend.
“I am happy to report that I am cancer-free and that my surgery last week went quite well. “Every report said it worked, so I don’t need to take any more medication,” she wrote in her post.
The actress who portrayed Lucy in the CBS sitcom, Miccuci, continued by expressing gratitude to the medical staff “that just took really great care of me” and for “figuring it out early because I am very, very lucky and I know that.”
She continued, “I am simply incredibly appreciative that things turned out the way they did.
When 43-year-old Miccuci originally revealed the news of her diagnosis and subsequent surgery, she noted that her blood work revealed something strange, which prompted additional testing and ultimately resulted in the diagnosis of cancer.
Since I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life, it’s quite strange. Thus, it came as a surprise. However, it also happens, and the best thing is that they discovered it quickly and resolved the issue, so I’m not worried,” she remarked at the time.
According to research, even among non-smokers, the number of women receiving lung cancer diagnoses has increased recently. Lung cancer can be diagnosed as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke, pollution, family history, and other factors, according to the American Cancer Society.
Micucci, who is also an artist, stated last week that she intends to go back to work as soon as she can but that she will “probably be moving slowly for a few weeks.”
For now, she said over the weekend that she’s “feeling really good today and honestly just so excited and truly grateful.”
“I’m excited to hang with my little boy for christmas,” she added.
