CELEBRITIES, politicians, and members of the public are among those sending their best wishes to Scots comic Janey Godley as she heads to hospital for a life-saving operation.

Godley announced in November that she would have to cut her stand-up tour short after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

The comedian and author has already had the operation to tackle the cancer delayed once after she tested positive for Covid-19 in December.

She is now due for a hysterectomy on Thursday January 6 in order to have the tumour removed.

Godley previously said she had been practicing getting out of bed every day as she prepares to go under the knife as “apparently that’s a tough move when your giblets have been whipped out and your stomach is full of stitches”.

Posting on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, Godley wrote: “Today is all about getting packed up for hospital - surgery on Thursday morning, then focussing on recovery and whatever comes next.”

Fellow comedian Julian Clary was among the stars wishing Godley well, telling her to “take love and good wishes from me with you”.

Scottish Minister for Women's Health Maree Todd said she was "sending much love and strength".

Former footballer Gary Lineker and broadcaster and poet Lemn Sissay were also among the famous faces wishing Godley the best.

River City actress Leah MacRae wrote: “Sending love to you Janey. So many people are thinking of you and wishing you well. I hope you can feel all the love and it brings you strength.

“Right ‘Bunty’ yer time’s up ya bass! Get yersel huntit! X”

“Bunty” is what Godley has named her tumour.

SNP MSP Karen Adam also posted to thank Godley for her support, after she was allegedly sent death threats after speaking out about how paedophiles and predators are often the people around us.

Responding to the criticism aimed at Adam - a survivor of child sexual exploitation - Godley wrote: "Child abusers are humans, my uncle was well loved by his family, he was a pal to his friends, my mammy loved her brother, yet he was jailed for sexually abusing my sis and I, he was a human being who did evil things to kids."

Thanking her, Adam responded: "To see that @JaneyGodley saw the injustice against me and took action, to the detriment of her own peace, is so humbling to me.

"Janey is battling cancer AND her own injustices on here, but still came to my defence and sent me love. True sisterhood. ❤️#WomenSupportingWomen"

Responding to the thousands of well-wishers, Godley later posted: “I want to thank everyone for so much love - I will go into that operation on Thursday with a heart full of support, knowing that you and my family are all cheering for me - I am not so scared just … well you know slightly shoogly thinking about it, but thanks.”

The Scots comic has previously urged others who may have been suffering symptoms to get them checked out. 

She said these included feeling "as though I was full before I was eating a meal, I felt as though I had no real energy, and there was a big bloatingness inside my stomach".
