Story summary

Comedian Judith Lucy revealed on Instagram that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in early October 2023. In her video, she described receiving an email from BreastScreen Australia about abnormal results from her mammogram and stated "long story short, I’ve got breast cancer." Despite the diagnosis being relatively non-aggressive, Lucy decided to undergo a double mastectomy by the end of that week due to further findings during a lumpectomy. The decision was influenced by advice from her surgeon, Doctor Fun, who suggested removing both breasts as precautionary measure since more cancer was found than initially expected in one breast.
