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. Thank you.” Most read in Showbiz Her fans flocked to the comments section as one expressed: “Still living to the fullest and experiencing life.

She wrote: “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. “The initial lump that I felt, wasn’t a ‘lump’ as such; rather a kind of hard spot. Really tiny. “I almost didn’t bother getting it checked. So I guess I’m saying don’t ignore anything – get everything checked out.” Lucy told her fans that she’s at peace with “whatever comes next,” as she shared the clip of her ringing the cancer treatment bell. While she rang the bell, Lucy confessed she has been told by doctors it’s “too late” for her to receive Chemotherapy. 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.
