British “The Office” actress Lucy Davis says she is suffering from incurable cancer. The 53-year-old said in an Instagram post that she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer a year and a half ago.

“The cancer is incurable and it is too late for chemotherapy,” she wrote. The cancer has already metastasized to the bones. Standing and walking for long periods of time was “difficult,” and she sometimes had to rely on a wheelchair, Davis reported. “Now I’m trying to make the remaining time of my life as beautiful as possible,” Davis wrote and shared a video of her.

According to Cancer Research UK, stage four breast cancer means the disease has already spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones or lungs. The disease can reportedly be controlled for a few years, but is considered incurable.

Davis: “Any sadness goes to my family”

The 53-year-old is best known for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the British TV comedy series “The Office”. The British comedian Ricky Gervais (65) celebrated his breakthrough with the biting office satire. The US version with Hollywood star Steve Carell (63) is still very popular today. “The Office” is also considered a template for the German TV series “Stromberg”.

In the comments section under Davis’ Instagram post, Gervais responded with a red heart emoji. The most important thing for her is still humor, the Brit wrote in the post. Family and friends should not treat her “like a sick person.” “I’m not afraid of what comes next,” she continued. “Any grief is for my family; it’s much harder for them than it is for me.”
