Lucy then left the crowd with the following words of encouragement: “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. Our only limitations are the things that we think are limiting us. You can do anything and be anybody, and don’t apologise for it.” Lucy was diagnosed with breast cancer 18 months ago but it has now become terminal Credit: Instagram/reallucydavis She played the role of Dawn Tinsley in The Office Credit: Barnes, Jack The powerful statement comes just 11 days after the TV star revealed that she has incurable breast cancer. In a brave video posted online, Lucy admitted she was first diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago but confirmed that, despite treatment, it is terminal. She shared: “Hi friends. I wanted to share something with you all that I’ve kept to myself for a while but for various reasons would like to share now. “A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to my bones. Specifically to my spine, right hip, and my ribs. The cancer is incurable, and too late for chemo.

So I guess I’m saying don’t ignore anything – get everything checked out.” The TV star further admitted that she “doesn’t know how long she has left.” Lucy is best known for playing Dawn Tinsley in Ricky Gervais’ comedy The Office. Dawn was a receptionist at Wernham Hogg’s Slough branch in the original UK version of The Office. Comment now
