‘Exhausted’ Janey Godley shares poignant cancer update after third round of chemo

Comedian Janey Godley, 61, said that she is feeling “less bleak” after receiving her third round of chemotherapy and is accepting that “exhaustion” is going to be a part of her cancer battle. The Scot was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November.

She underwent a hysterectomy in the hopes that would be an end to it.

However, after the gruelling operation she was told that the cancer had progressed to stage three and spread beyond her ovaries.

As a result, Janey has received more chemotherapy and lost her hair as a result.

In a candid update shared on Saturday, Janey told her 250,000 followers: “My mental health feels less bleak after chemo number three.

“Just accepting that the exhaustion is going to be part of the process and not a sign of physical weakness has helped me understand this process.  

“Thanks everyone who has been supporting me through this.”

Hundreds of Janey’s friends and followers took to the comments to send their well-wishes.

Actress Emma Kennedy penned: “Your body will always tell you what you need and if it’s telling you to lie down and do nothing, then you need to lie down and do nothing. You’re doing great Janey.”

She shared a black and white selfie of herself and wrote: “It’s another day, the world seems terrifying.

“Putin is punishing innocent people and the chemo is battering the cancer inside me. Sometimes I can’t see how I will make it through this year.

“I won’t stop trying is all I can say. #MentalHealthMatters #chemo.”

Janey shaved her head with the help of her husband, Sean Storrie, last month.

In a series of hard-hitting photographs, Janey looked directly at the camera as her husband took the shaver to her head.

Despite the emotional situation, Janey said that the pair managed to have a laugh nonetheless.

She wrote: “My husband has performed his first ever hair trim, with gentle care and I think he’s done a good job!

“Husband asked me ‘need anything for the weekend?’ And yes, I giggled #chemo.”
