Alex Kingston, best known for her roles in popular television shows like ER and Doctor Who, was diagnosed with womb cancer in 2024. In an interview with the Independent, the actress said that she'd experienced a variety of symptoms, including bloating and body aches, for years prior to her diagnosis.
"I had assumed that the way I was feeling was old age, and I just sort of accepted it. I thought, 'OK, this is what it’s like to be in my 60s.' But a lot of how I was feeling was to do with my illness," Kingston told the outlet. "I never went down the cancer road in my head. It was a shock, because I have a very positive outlook on life in general. Even though my body was telling me there was something very seriously wrong, I kept thinking, 'Oh, I’ve got a bad UTI or fibroids.'"
"I had a major operation. I had to have a hysterectomy, I had to go into radiation therapy, and that took up a huge part of my life," she continued, adding, "Despite having gone through all of that — and any cancer is really tough to accept, to steel yourself to go through all of the necessary procedures to get back into health — the minute I had the operation, I suddenly felt like myself again."
Womb cancer, also known as uterine cancer or endometrial cancer, affects about 65,000 women annually in the United States, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The majority of new cases of the disease are found in women who are post-menopausal. Kingston portrayed the role of Elizabeth Corday on ER from 1997 through 2009. She also starred in Doctor Who from 2008 through 2015, though she only appeared in 15 episodes, according to IMDb.She's currently competing on the 23rd season of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
