Scots comedian Janey Godley was overjoyed to share the news with her fans tonight that is now cancer free.
The funny woman took to Twitter this evening to announce her latest scan came back clear and thanked the NHS. Janey has been battling the disease and updating her fans throughout as she went through operations and treatment after her shock diagnosis last year.
She had a hysterectomy and several rounds of chemotherapy as doctor’s battled to save her life.
Speaking in a video uploaded to Twitter tonight, a tearful Janey said: “I have just had a phone call from the cancer specialist and the scan has came back clear. There is no evidence of the disease, so after the hysterectomy and six rounds of chemo and a blood transfusion it seems like the NHS has definitely saved my life.

“I want to thank everyone at the Beatson Cancer Care and every one at the NHS who looked after me.
“I also want to thank my wee pal Shirley who looked after me when I came out after the hysterectomy.” Janey faces having to take pills for the rest of her life to stop the cancer returning but couldn’t contain her joy.
She said her “cup was full of gratefulness” as she also thanked the thousands of well-wishers who have supported her through her ordeal. Famous faces like Julian Clary, Jenny Eclair and Judith Ralston joined hundreds of others in wishing the comedian well for the future.
One woman replied: “That is fantastic news, I have been following your journey as I have had a total hysterectomy for womb cancer and have to have some brachial therapy as a precaution so good to see you come through this and looking very well.”
Another said: “That’s just wonderful, I’m so pleased to hear this, well done you and well done the NHS.”
And one added: “Oh my god, Janey. That’s amazing. Shedding a happy tear or two for you.”
