Former Emmerdale Malandra Burrows is adamant she’ll maintain a positive outlook despite her cancer diagnosis.
Malandra Burrows, 56, who played Kathy Glover in Emmerdale, will undergo six months of chemotherapy. The soap legend was diagnosed with breast cancer in February and has had a stage three tumour removed.
“I do not want to make this cancer my life,” Malandra said, in an interview with our colleagues at The Mirror. “When I tell people they say to me, ‘I can’t believe you can talk about it and be so positive,’ but it’s the reality and you have to be positive. I hope in talking about it I can raise awareness. As well as the negatives there are the positives and that’s what you’ve got to focus on.”
