‘The Office’ star Lucy Davis ‘at peace’ with 'incurable' cancer diagnosis after nearly ignoring warning sign
Lucy Davis revealed a devastating Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis after quietly battling the disease for the past year and a half.
"The Office" actress said the cancer had metastasized to her spine, right hip and ribs and was now "incurable," with chemotherapy no longer an option.
"The initial lump that I felt, wasn’t a ‘lump’ as such; rather a kind of hard spot.
Really tiny," she wrote on Instagram .
"I almost didn’t bother getting it checked.
So I guess I’m saying don’t ignore anything – get everything checked out." Rather than dwell on her prognosis, Davis said she was determined to embrace whatever time she had left.

"I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens.
And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there’s a lot I have learned from it, and I’m grateful for that." Davis said maintaining that outlook had not made the physical realities of cancer any easier.
"As some of you will know, the pain can really be something else," Davis wrote.
"Standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes (so if you see me toddling around in one, feel free to give me a push!)" Despite the pain, Davis said she had found peace with what could come next.
