Beverley Callard, 69, reveals agonising wait for stomach biopsy results amid breast cancer battle as she says 'nausea and pains are getting worse'

Beverley Callard has revealed she is still waiting for the results of her stomach biopsy as she contends with painful symptoms during her breast cancer battle.  

The Coronation Street star, 69, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has been open with her followers during her recovery and treatment plan. 

Earlier this month Beverley admitted that she's 'at a loss' of what to do as her medication was denied following the discovery that 'part of her stomach has eroded away' during her treatment.

On Wednesday, the star shared an update as she admitted the wait for the results of a biopsy 'is getting me down'.

She explained how she has been suffering from nausea which meant she couldn't work this week. 

'An update with no update sadly… oncology results are taking an age meanwhile the nausea seems to be getting worse,'  Beverley captioned the clip.

Speaking from her home, the actress said in the clip: 'An update. Was working til really late last night. Enjoyable, but very late.'

The actress has been working hard on a number of projects throughout her treatment, including filming for a role in the long-running Irish drama serial Fair City. 

'Got to bed about half past one. It wasn't Fair City work, it was something else,' she continued. 

'Then today, oh my…. nausea has been so bad. For the first time ever, I actually couldn't go to work.'

'And so I had to go and see the GP and she said she can't believe I've not got my results from the stomach biopsy. Five weeks now.'

Beverley continued: 'We're still waiting and it's just getting me down now.

'It's just the nausea, stomach ache and then it'll go away and then it comes back again. Apparently – according to lots of you – it's quite common after radiotherapy, but it does seem to be dragging on a long time.' 

'And so they're giving me some different tablets to try and ease the pain in my stomach but it was a pretty bad day today.'

She added that she was also feeling 'guilty' because 'Crystal, my mum-in-law, had a little cry because she was so worried about me.'

'So then you feel really guilty because there's a 94-year-old lady crying about my health. She was actually trying to look after me today.'

She ended the video by promising fans 'we will bounce back'.

Denise Welch was among those to offer support in the comments section, as she wrote: 'Beverley 5 weeks for the results!!!!???' 

Earlier this month the actress revealed she's in 'limbo' after suffering the 'nightmare' setback. 

In the first of her two videos shared to Instagram, the Liz McDonald actress initially told her fans of her stomach issues following the visit to her hospital's oncology department.

As she sat in her car, she shared: 'Still not got all the results of my stomach scan yet but apparently part of my stomach has eroded away and I’ve got to have two lots of antibiotics and then a stomach care protector tablet.  

'Then she thinks I’ll feel loads better. So just going to get that from the chemist now.'

However, just hours later, Beverley returned to Instagram with a 'big update', alarmingly captioning her post: '2 updates…so watch until the end!! Some not great news and some very sad news.'

The I'm A Celebrity star went on to say in her video that after being told that she would need medication for her stomach erosion, she encountered a 'nightmare' problem at the chemist when she went to pick up her prescription.

She said: 'Went to the hospital yesterday, as I've told you, and everything seemed to be moving along. Still not got the results from the biopsies of my stomach but apparently there's a lot of erosion in my stomach and chronic inflammation so the consultant has given me three medications.

'Two antibiotics and one that sort of protects the stomach. So I thought this would be good and she said you'll feel better because she said I don't look well! Which I know anyway. So I went straight to the chemist from the hospital and they said, I can't give you that.' 

Beverley explained that the chemist informed her that the new medicine would 'interact with some of the medications you are already on'. 

She added that the chemist went on to say that she would 'need to speak to oncology and get this cleared up, because you really can’t have these'.

However, the star encountered difficulty in doing so, informing her fans that 'trying to get back through to the hospital was a nightmare - just couldn't get through to the right person and explain everything!'

She continued: 'I'm a bit at a loss at the moment,' noting how both her chemist and GP had been trying to get through to the oncologist.'

A distraught Beverley added of her ordeal: 'I’m in limbo again, which is a nightmare.'

Beverley had her last radiotherapy session back in July amid her breast cancer diagnosis.
