“So, it was like, dude, there’s something wrong here. You know, there’s something really wrong.”
Even while going through treatment, Szubanski continued working. At one point, she had to film an advertisement for Australian health insurer Medibank, describing the experience as “a bizarre, bizarre experience.”
“It was … a bizarre, bizarre experience.”
“It was freaking hard, but when I say it was doable, it was,” she said.
During the interview, Szubanski also spoke candidly about her family’s history with serious health issues.
She revealed that her father was diagnosed with cancer when she was just six years old, while her mother later battled pancreatic cancer. Her sister has also been diagnosed with lymphoma.
Reflecting on how cancer has affected several members of her family, Szubanski added a touch of dark humor, joking that her brother was the “f**king odd one out” after suffering a heart attack and undergoing a quintuple bypass.
We’re wishing Magda Szubanski all the very best as she continues her journey, and hoping she has many more happy and healthy years ahead. ❤️
