JANEY Godley has announced that her latest scan has shown “no evidence of disease” as she thanked the NHS for saving her life in an emotional video shared to twitter.
The Scottish comedian was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in November after showing symptoms of bloating, loss of appetite, back pain and frequently needing to urinate.
She has undergone a range of treatments including chemotherapy and a hysterectomy at the start of the year.
Godley announced that she had her last round of chemotherapy in May and has now followed up with more good news.

Speaking in a clip on Twitter, Godley said: “I’ve just had the phone call from the cancer specialist and the scan has come back clear. There is no evidence of disease.
“So after a hysterectomy and six rounds of chemo and the blood transfusion, it seems like the NHS has definitely saved my life.”
Godley went on to thank the Beatson Cancer Centre and the NHS employees who looked after her.

She added that it had been an “emotional day” and that her “cup was full with gratefulness”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
