Magda Szubanski, beloved for her roles in Kath & Kim and the Babe films, has shared an emotional update from her hospital bed while undergoing treatment for stage-four mantle cell lymphoma. Despite the challenges of chemotherapy, the 64-year-old actress smiled in a video message, thanking ten-year-old Annabella from Adelaide, who dressed as Sharon Strzelecki for Book Week. “It really cheered me up,” she said warmly, though admitting, “Chemo is smacking me around right now.”
Diagnosed in May after a breast screening revealed swollen lymph nodes, Szubanski shaved her head in preparation for treatment. While acknowledging the aggressiveness of the cancer, she expressed gratitude for her medical team and hope in new therapies. Candid yet humorous, she reminded fans to show love safely from a distance. Support continues to pour in, with many hailing her as both a cultural icon and a symbol of resilience.
