Tracy Shaw says she is feeling “absolute rubbish” in an update amid her breast cancer battle.
The actress, 52, who played Maxine Peacock on Coronation Street from 1995 until 2003, announced earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had been keeping fans updated on her journey.
In her latest update on social media, she wrote: “Phew round 4 hit hard! I’ve chose to show the moments of Joy I experience, hoping they bring light to those in the same position. Amidst this pain and suffering, I’ve had to dig deep into the constant spiritual growth , to creation and its wonders.
“Knowing what’s coming each cycle doesn’t make it easier, but I’m not panicking, definitely trusting the process , honestly it’s agony , but keeping it in the day. Praying a lot for others. Grateful to have met others to share this journey with, life sisters.”
In a heartbreaking update, she added: “Feeling absolute rubbish at the moment but ‘This too shall pass.'”
Tracy has been updating fans on her chemotherapy and journey so far, admitting the treatment has “wiped” her. She explained that she was struggling with the heat in the hospital and her lowered immune system.
In a video, she said: “So yesterday I had my first injection of chemo. It’s one which affects my heart so I have to have my heart checked on a regular basis for scans. It really wiped me, I don’t know if it’s because I had to go back into hospital and it’s so hot in there. Why doesn’t the government just look after the guys at the NHS a little bit more and invest a bit more into our hospitals.
“I’m feeling the effects today. I’ve taken my first injection to help my immune system. Basically from tomorrow I can’t really socialise. My immune system will be really low. The other thing is temperatures. My body is now going to war with that thing in me which doesn’t belong in here.”
During her time on Corrie, Maxine had been married to Weatherfield’s favourite butcher Ashley and the couple shared a child together. Viewers watched as Maxine returned home to check in her son Joshua who was being looked after by Emily Bishop.
As Maxine walked through the front door she is met with serial killer Richard Hillman, who was stood over Emily’s dead body. Maxine attempted to make a run for it but was unable to get away and was killed by Richard.
