Sally Dynevor was among the Coronation Street stars offering support to Tracy Shaw after the soap star opened up about her chemotherapy treatment and cancer diagnosis. The Maxine Peacock actor was diagnosed with breast cancer last month, revealing to her Instagram followers that she was set to begin chemotherapy treatment.Sharing a selfie to Instagram with her hair cropped short, Shaw wrote: “To all you cancer survivors, I’m coming 
.”
Maria Connor actor Samia Longchambon added: “Always beautiful. Always 
.”
In an emotional video shared to the platform, Shaw said she “can’t go through this anymore” as she explained the toll her cancer diagnosis and impending treatment have had on her.
“I’m just going to be me, and my truth is… by the way, I’ve not shaved my hair off, I’ve just put a scarf on just because I’ve not done anything with it, and I’m going to hospital,” she began.
“Each morning I wake up and know that I have to go into hospital and receive more news, which has been going on for a long time, that unknown… I just think, ‘I can’t go through with this anymore,’ but I’ve not even started my journey.”
She continued: “I’ve had a good cry. I’ll go in later today, and I’ll meet some other ladies who will start the treatment with me – chemo.
“And I’ll find out the date. 50 per cent of me wants to get going. I want to know that it’s being shrunk and the cancer is being dealt with.”
Shaw shared the symptoms she has been experiencing, including “really bad headaches” and “twinges in her other boob”.
“All forms of cancer are awful, most of the time, I get on with life, but then I think that’s probably what we do,” she said while speaking to the camera.
“But the fact is, when you wake up in the morning, and you think ‘It hasn’t gone away.’ It isn’t like the addictions that I’ve recovered from by the grace of God. There appears to be a long road ahead, or a mountain.”
In the caption, she wrote: “Moments happen. After filming this , I spent the morning in the chemo ward having tests.
“Thankyou for all NHS staff 
No other women, mostly men, cancer doesn’t not discriminate gender (sic).
“We will start our chemo journeys at the same time Next week. Love & peace to everyone on their cancer journey 
.”
