And Amanda jam Nation Australia, I know sends Magnagubansky their love.
We heard yesterday that she has been diagnosed with a
stage four mantle cell lymphoma. This is what she posted
to her Instagram.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, my love lies. So the head is shaved in
anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks,
because I have just been diagnosed with a very rare,
very aggressive, very serious lymphoma. It is one of the
nasty ones, unfortunately. But the good thing is I'm surrounded
by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team.
(00:41):
It's pretty confronting. It is a it is a it
is a form one. But new treatments keep coming down
the pipeline all the time. So you know, I just
got a what do you get?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
What do you do? What are you going to do? Yeah,
that's her laughing at the end, and because that's what
Magda does. You face the world with humor. What are
you going to do? It's one foot in front of
the other. A very honest appraisal there of how she's feeling.
She says she's got a brilliant medical team, He's got
brilliant friends and family, supporting her. She said she'd been feeling,
as these are her words, a bit rat shit for ages.
So when she went for a breast screen, this is
(01:18):
how it was picked up. Through a breast screen, she
asked for extra bloods. So the takeaway is get tested
and listen to your body. She has said that she
will be feeling pretty low and she'll be immunosuppressed. So
she's asked people, if you see her out in the wild,
give her a loving wave, but don't hug her, don't
touch her, because this is her new reality. Now. All
(01:38):
of Australia loves Magda. I think she's a big part
of our psyche and we all took a punch when
we heard this yesterday and we send Magda our love,
healing vibes coming your way. Magde absolutely
