Actress Samantha Womack has announced she is now cancer free, though she is having ongoing treatment as a prevention.
In August, the former EastEnders star, who played Ronnie Mitchell in the BBC soap, revealed she was battling breast cancer. Now, the 50-year-old has said: "Now I'm just having some treatments while I go back to work, as a prevention – it was crazy, I was doing The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe – the producers there were fantastic and gave me time off.
"We're feeling a lot better than we were," she told OK! Magazine. Reflecting on her ordeal, she added: "My treatment is ongoing for breast cancer, the surgery was quite difficult to recover from just because it's quite tender when you have lymph nodes removed, there's a few mobility issues at the beginning.
