She said: “Well, I had to do a photoshoot yesterday and on the way there – it was for a magazine about Fair City – and on the way there, Jon was driving, and I was in the passenger seat. My phone rang, and it said the caller ID. Usually, it’s the hospital or one of the consultants from the hospital and I thought ‘Okay, this is it, my results.’
“It was one of the amazing cancer care nurses from Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, they are fantastic.
“She wanted to know how I was doing. I told her that I’ve got quite a lot of soreness, which I’ve not had for ages but it came on a few days ago.
“She said I could be overdoing things, hopefully I’m not, I’ve had a lazy day today. But then she said ‘No results yet because there is a backlog,’ so hopefully I will get them next week.”
Callard told her followers about the mental strain of thinking she was about to get her results before a busy day of work: “I can’t do this now, I cannot paint a smile on my face again.”
She added: “Anyway, I did it. You just do, don’t you? Then we went out for some dinner and it was really nice.
“The other thing I was thinking was that Jon’s painting the bedroom in our new home and doing all that so it will be lovely for me for radiotherapy, etc, if I am tired, and I just thought ‘Oh, I could not go through this by myself.'”
Callard first announced her cancer diagnosis when appearing on RTE’s The Late Late Show in February.
