(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog in May, 2010, reposted to this blog with permission.)Sally Whittaker, who plays Sally Webster on Coronation Street, has spoken about her real-life battle with breast cancer.
Sally reveals that she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time as her on-screen Corrie character was diagnosed in the storyline. It's heartbreaking stuff and Sally Whittaker is applauded for her bravery and honesty in speaking out about this as it will surely help other women deal with the disease too.
Sally said: “If I had not been researching this storyline I may not have discovered the lump in my breast and had it looked at so quickly. As a result of the early diagnosis my treatment has been successful and I am able to return to work next month. This storyline could very well have saved my life."
Sally says she is now looking forward to returning to work on Corrie and she will be supporting breast cancer charity The Genesis Campaign and The Christie Hospital in Manchester.
Here at the Coronation Street blog, we all send Sally Whittaker our very best wishes.
Sally Whittaker decided to start using her married name, Dynevor and we'll be using that from now on.
