Chicago Med actress Marlyne Barrett, 44, has opened up about her secret battle with cancer after being diagnosed with a football sized tumour on her uterus and ovary in July
US actress Marlyne Barrett has revealed she has been battling cancer for over two months, after being diagnosed with an aggressive tumour on her uterus and left ovary in July.
“I had this accumulation of fluid [in my abdomen] that I couldn't shake. I looked like I was nine months pregnant. And I also had shortness of breath, but no pain, which was interesting,” she explained. The couple, who have been together for 12 years and tied the knot back in 2009, share 11 month old twins, Joshuah-Jireh and Ahnne-N’Urya - but even despite the harrowing diagnosis, Gavin has remained a rock to Marlyne as he continues to support her through treatment of the deadly disease.
And face it she did. Rather than waiting for her hair to fall out as a result of intense chemotherapy, the mum of two took a razor to her own hair shortly after her diagnosis to reclaim some control over the scary situation.
