A week after revealing her lung cancer diagnosis, Kate Micucci has shared that she is now cancer-free.
In an Instagram post, the actress and comedian, who is known for her role as Lucy on “The Big Bang Theory” and is one half of the comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates, wrote, “Pretty surreal to wake up and find Good Morning America had done a segment about my lung cancer diagnosis. Great news is, thanks to surgery last week, I am cancer free and no other treatment is needed.”
Micucci went on to thank her health care team and “GMA” for sharing her health news and helping to raise awareness of the disease.
“I was very lucky to have such wonderful doctors and nurses who took great care of me. And I was very lucky to find it so early,” she continued. “Thank you @willreeve_ and @goodmorningamerica for getting the word out about lung cancer awareness. #lungcancer #lucky #sendinglove.”
Micucci first opened up about her diagnosis in a Dec. 8 TikTok video, which she had recorded while in the hospital.
“I’m in the hospital but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday,” Micucci said in the clip. “They caught it really early. It’s pretty weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life, so you know, it was a surprise, but also, I guess it happens.”
