Loose Women star Kaye Adams was left astonished by how her co-star and close friend reacted to her cancer diagnosis.
The star, 62, branded her pal “remarkable” during the latest episode of her podcast, How to be 60.
Loose Women star Kaye Adams talks to co-star about their diagnosis
During the latest episode of her podcast, Kaye’s co-star, Karen MacKenzie, spoke about her breast cancer diagnosis.
Karen explained that she found a lump in her breast and immediately sought out medical advice.
“That day, I got a mammogram. I got an ultrasound, and I got a biopsy. By the end of the appointment, it was quite clear that there was a cancerous tumour there,” she said.
However, rather than let the lump derail her plans, she jetted off to Italy for a break, before returning for further examination.
Upon her return, she underwent an MRI, which revealed additional tumours. It turned out that the lump was benign, and it was the other breast that was harbouring the malignant growths.

“Now that I see my breasts though, there was a tiny little sort of ripple at the bottom. And I think that’s all I could describe it just a little bit of a tuck in the skin, and that’s an indication,” Karen said.
However, despite her diagnosis, Karen has remained lighthearted, something which has left Kaye impressed.
“I have to say, you’re handling this incredibly, I really do take my hat off to you. I think you’ve been remarkable in terms of the way you’re dealing with it,” the star said.
She highlighted how Karen has remained upbeat about the diagnosis, noting that her co-star even cycles to some appointments.
