Actress Magda Szubanski recently gave fans a glimpse into her life from a hospital bed as she battles stage-four can**r.
The 64-year-old, known for her roles in Kath & Kim and the Babe films, posted an Instagram video this past weekend. She thanked a young fan, 10-year-old Annabella from Adelaide, for cheering her up by dressing as Sharon Strzelecki, Szubanski’s iconic Kath & Kim character, for Book Week.

Smiling from her hospital bed, Szubanski said, “I’m in here having chemo and it really cheered me up. I’m really touched. That was a beautiful thing to do. Thank you, my sweet. Lots of love to you.”

Her Instagram caption added, “Chemo is smacking me around right now.”

Can**r Diagnosis
In May, Szubanski revealed she was diagnosed with stage-four mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive bl0*d can**r. She shared a video showing her shaven head in preparation for hair loss due to treatment.
