Judith Lucy announces breast cancer diagnosis: ‘I’m in shock, but I’m OK’

Comedian and actress Judith Lucy has announced she has been diagnosed with breast cancer in a video posted to Instagram. The 58-year-old revealed she received an abnormal mammogram result and underwent a lumpectomy last week, where a doctor called "Doctor Fun" discovered additional cancer. Lucy explained she would undergo a double mastectomy, removing both breasts, and intends to remain "bra-free" for her "last chapter."

The comedian emphasized the importance of regular mammograms and shared that her cancer was early stage and relatively non-aggressive. Despite the diagnosis, Lucy stated she is "OK" and in shock, but assured her fans she is fine.
