Lucy Davis, famed for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the British series The Office, shared a personal update on Instagram confirming a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis made a year and a half ago. The disease has metastasized to her spine, right hip and ribs, rendering it incurable and too late for chemotherapy. She recounted initially feeling a tiny, hard spot that she almost ignored, urging regular medical check-ups.
