Doctors discovered the condition during a routine National Health Service screening. Faulkner underwent a major operation two weeks ago to remove cancerous tissue.
“I had surgery two weeks ago, and it was quite a big op, but it’s all good, and I’ve had my results back, and they’ve got everything out, and so it’s all clear, and I just need now to have some radiotherapy in a few weeks,” Faulkner said.
The Holby City actress emphasized that she is recovering well.
“I’ve still got quite a bit of healing to do, but I’m good, I’m well, and feeling so much better,” she added.

Faulkner strongly urged her followers to attend routine check-ups. She credited the NHS breast screening program for detecting the cancer before symptoms appeared.
“I am so grateful that I went for my mammogram,” she said.
“Don’t put them off; go, because they found this and without that mammogram it wouldn’t have been picked up.”
She expressed immense gratitude toward healthcare workers for enabling early treatment.

The health update comes nearly one year after Faulkner’s husband, former MasterChef presenter John Torode, was dismissed from his television role following an investigation into workplace misconduct allegations involving co-presenter Greg Wallace.
