Netflix Comedy Star Katherine Ryan Diagnosed With Cancer For Second Time, Credits ‘RHOBH’ Star For Diagnosis
The star of 'The Duchess' credits 'RHOBH's Teddi Mellencamp for documenting her own diagnosis.
Katherine Ryan has announced that she has been diagnosed with skin cancer for the second time.
The Canadian stand-up and TV comedy star shared on her podcast and on social media that she had recently had a cancerous mole removed from her arm, and will have a follow-up procedure next week to remove any remaining cancerous tissue.
BBC News reports that the star of Netflix show The Duchess was first diagnosed with the same condition in 2004, when she had what she described as a “golf ball-sized lump” removed from her thigh. This time, Ryan shared that her concerns had been initially dismissed by a doctor, but tests confirmed her mole to be “early melanoma.”

Watch on Deadline“If you know about melanoma, you’ll know it is a deadly form of skin cancer. It does spread quickly, and I just felt like this mole wasn’t right.”
And she urged listeners with any concerns to get themselves tested, saying:
“You have to make space in your day for these appointments.
“It just feels crazy to me, what could have happened, if I hadn’t been my own advocate – and I will continue to be my own advocate.”
Ryan also credited Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp for talking about her own melanoma. Ryan said:
“God bless that woman for being so transparent about her journey.”
Ryan was born and raised in Canada but has become a big comedy name in the UK where she has lived since 2008. Besides her Netflix show, she is a regular contributor to TV panel shows including 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, A League of Their Own and Have I Got News For You.
