An actress who played a member of the much-loved Scully family in Aussie soap Neighbours has been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer at the age of 36. Kate Keltie played Michelle Scully, the youngest of the Scully girls, in the soap from 1999 to 2004.
Michelle was the sister of Holly Vallance's character Felicity and Carla Bonner's Steph. It has now been reported that Kate's cancer has spread to several parts of her body. A GoFundMe page has been set up with a goal of $25,000AUD (£13,800) to cover costs throughout her chemotherapy treatment.
On the platform, organiser Ebony Gilbert wrote: "Our beautiful Kate is going through the unimaginable. She was recently diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Her cancer is extremely aggressive and it has spread to other parts of her body, including her lymph nodes, blood and hip bones (known as metastatic cancer).
