Janey Godley has shared her favourite photograph of 2023, when her husband shaved off her hair back in February. The 62-year-old comedian has been sharing her health journey ever since she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last Christmas.
Shortly after her diagnosis last year, Janey decided to shave her long locks off, before she lost them due to the side effects of chemotherapy. At the time, she shared the emotional black and white photograph of her husband Sean's hands on her head as he used an electric razor to shave her hair.
Janey had to undergo a hysterectomy after doctors found a tumour on her ovary following a period of suffering stomach and back pains, a bloated tummy, loss of appetite, and frequent urination.
But despite the major op, she had to undergo further treatment as she had advanced to stage three, meaning the cancer had spread. The comic told her followers that she wanted to cut her hair before chemo took it from her.
And as she gets set to head into the new year, despite her cancer returning and having to undergo even more treatment, Janey reshared the snap and said it was her favourite of the year.
She wrote: "My fav photo of 2022, my husband shaving the remains of my hair through the first chemo sessions. We both cried. He was so gentle."
And many replied to the emotional snap, one wrote: "Oh, Janey. Sending love. x" Another wrote: "His touch of love. Janey every best wish for you, health and happiness in 2023." While one penned: "Such a powerful photo."
Earlier this month, Janey revealed that despite receiving the all clear in the summer, sadly her cancer had returned.
The Scottish comedian told fans she is determined to get back on stage so her upcoming Not Dead Yet Tour will still go ahead but added it might be the last time she is able to perform live. Janey informed fans her latest test has revealed signs of the disease in her abdomen in a video posted on Twitter.
She said: “My recent scan and my blood tests showed that my cancer marker went up. There’s still a bit of disease in my abdomen. So I want you all to know that I’ll be going through some more chemotherapy.
“I also want you to know that I’m going ahead with the tour in February and March. I am determined to get back on stage. I’m looking forward to the tour, I think it’s fair and honest to say it might be the last time you see me live on stage. I’m hoping it’s not, but I think it’s a fair estimation.”
