Katherine Ryan issues update to fans worrying over second cancer diagnosis
Katherine Ryan has issued a statement to fans after revealing she has been diagnosed with cancer for a second time, with the comedian and TV star now having undergone surgery to remove a cancerous mole from her arm
Katherine Ryan has put out a statement amidst concerns from her followers after news broke that she is facing cancer for a second time. At 41, the comedian has battled cancer before, having previously disclosed an operation to remove a growth in her leg during her student years. On Friday 21 March, the Canadian talent shared that she had recently undergone surgery to excise a cancerous mole on her arm found to be melanoma.
She shared her latest health ordeal openly while chatting with fans on her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, causing a burst of media attention and prompting her followers to reach out on social media.
Now, Katherine has released a new statement to comfort her fans, assuring them she's "fine" and telling them not to "stress". She also clarified that she wasn't criticising the NHS when she voiced frustrations about the care she received while getting her mole checked.

I've made a TikTok explaining because it's just the most concise way and it's fine and it's not a big deal. So don't stress," reports the Mirror.
Her latest remarks follow admissions that she had to persuade doctors to act on her health worries after initially being overlooked. Katherine opened up to her podcast listeners about a concerning health scare, explaining: "The only reason that they agreed to remove it was because I went to a fancy, private place in South Kensington, and I paid them a grand."
She expressed doubts about the likelihood of the same service on the NHS, recounting a prior experience: "I don't believe that on the NHS they ever would have removed this mole, because I don't know how long ago, I'm looking through my emails to find out how long ago, I think six to eight months ago, I went to another private clinic and gave them £300 for a seven-minute consultation."

He was really nice to me, and he gave me the news that I wanted."
She continued to share her persistence in pursuing a second opinion due to changes in the mole, saying: "I think it's really easy to take a diagnosis of 'you're healthy' and just walk away. But the mole kept changing, and I know a lot about melanoma. I just felt like this mole wasn't right, it's on my arm, I showed pictures of it on my social media."
Katherine then explained why she pushed for further action: "I went in and I wanted the doctor to remove a bigger piece of it and stitch it up in a straight line, but even when he looked at it, he was like, 'not melanoma, totally fine, I will do the shave and send it away for histology, and then if it comes back with anything, if there's any borders that we missed, then we'll do the deeper cut.'".
"And I was like, 'just do the deeper cut now, like just do it.' He's like, 'well, it's half the price for you, and you don't need the deeper cut, let's just take it off and we'll test it.' And I thought, 'alright, we'll take it off and we'll test it fine.'"
"So he rang me today, and it did come back melanoma, and he said, 'it's early melanoma.' And he was shocked, he's like, 'it doesn't look like melanoma, but it is melanoma.'"
