Lucy Davis has revealed her pride after completing a gruelling hike before ziplining through a California canyon, weeks after revealing her cancer diagnosis The Office star, 53, announced last month that she's been diagnosed with incurable stage four breast cancer and 'doesn't know how long she has left''In previous zip lines, I’ve always been driven up to the first line, and the walking is in between the lines. But no. This was a legit hike up to the first zip. It took me one hour and 15 minutes.''I was so grateful for the support of the guides and my friend @jharris1231 who helped me up, and the other people on the hike that never judged me or made me feel stupid. Thanku.'She added the hashtags '#gratefulforepsomsalts' and '#dontletcancerruinyourday.'Fans flooded Lucy's post with messages, calling her 'an inspiration.'Lucy replied to many of the messages, admitting to one fan that the zipline 'was the easy bit - it was having to walk past bee hives that scared me the most!' Last month Lucy was supported by her father Jasper Carrott as she made her first public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnosis. The actress put on a brave face as she attended the For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi convention at London's ExCeL, where she reunited with her Shaun Of The Dead co-star, Simon Pegg, and the film's director, Edgar Wright. Lucy beamed as she slowly made her way on to the stage after previously admitting that 'standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes'.

During her appearance, Lucy called her fans her 'second family', as she shared a poignant message about never giving up. She told the crowd: 'It’s like this whole second family you never knew you had. Everyone is like a community, friendly, supportive of us, but you guys and each other. So I’m quite hopeful about that, to be honest. 'We need a bit more niceness in the world, and we get it here. So I’m grateful for you guys.' When asked what advice she would give to someone trying to break into the film industry, she shared: 'Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do or be anything that you want to do or be.'We all grow up just with lies from the world telling us that we all have limitations, and none of us do. The actress shared a photo of her friend and said 'I was so grateful for the support of my friend @jharris1231 who helped me up, and the other people on the hike that never judged me''Our only limitations are the things that we think are limiting us.
