Lucy Davis 'grateful' for support over cancer diagnosis
The Office star was appearing at convention in London, less than two weeks after announcing her condition.
Actress Lucy Davis expressed gratitude for the support she has received following her recent cancer diagnosis. The 53-year-old appeared at a London sci-fi convention, For The Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi, less than two weeks after revealing her incurable breast cancer diagnosis on Instagram. On stage, Davis shared the positive interactions with fans she had experienced at the event, describing them as a supportive "second family."
She emphasized the importance of kindness in the world, stating her gratefulness for the outpouring of love and support. Davis, known for her roles in Shaun of the Dead, The Office, and The Office spinoff Tanner House, underwent stage four breast cancer treatment that had metastasized to her bones. Despite the challenges, she remained optimistic, urging women to check their breasts for cancer and encouraging them to believe in their limitless potential.
Fellow panelists included Edgar Wright, the director of Shaun of the Dead, and Simon Pegg, who starred alongside Davis in the film.
