Janey Godley, a 63-year-old Scottish comedian, has announced that she is receiving palliative care for her ovarian cancer, which has recently spread. After initially being given the all-clear in 2022, her health took a turn for the worse, leading to the cancellation of her autumn tour. In a heartfelt video shared on social media, she expressed the difficulty of discussing her condition and the emotional toll it has taken on her. The comedian revealed that chemotherapy options have been exhausted, and she is now facing end-of-life care. She acknowledged the devastating nature of her diagnosis and the impact it has on her life and career. Godley emphasized the importance of support for others dealing with similar health challenges, highlighting the shared experience of those with life-limiting diseases. Her tour, titled 'Why Is She Still Here?', was set to cover various UK cities, including London, Belfast, and Edinburgh. However, medical advice has necessitated her withdrawal from performing for the foreseeable future. A statement regarding her career confirmed the cancellation of her autumn 2024 tour, citing her ongoing battle with stage four ovarian cancer and recent complications. Godley first disclosed her cancer diagnosis in 2021, and after a period of treatment, she had celebrated being cancer-free in 2022. Unfortunately, subsequent scans indicated a return of the disease, prompting her to reconsider her plans for future performances.
