Beverley Callard, the 69-year-old actress famous for her long-running role as Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, has faced significant emotional challenges in her battle with early-stage breast cancer. After sharing her diagnosis in February, she recently expressed feelings of despair, stating, "I can't do this anymore," following a difficult moment when she saw her reflection before her first radiotherapy session. In a candid Instagram video, Callard described how she felt like a 'freak' after preparing for her appointment, despite knowing many others have it worse. However, her spirits were lifted during a consultation with Dr. Sarah Walsh, whom she described as a 'friend for life.' Callard felt an immediate connection with the doctor, which helped her feel understood and supported. She concluded her day on a positive note, enjoying carrot cake and feeling grateful for the new friendship, stating, "I just felt that the universe and the gods are smiling on me."
