Crown star Olivia Williams rues she will never be cancer-free

The Crown star recently spoke about her misdiagnosis and what that has led to after years of suffering from symptoms that, if they were detected early on, could have prevented the current therapies she has to undergo. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018 when she was 46, in an interview with The Times. Olivia is now 56.

The actress experienced aching limbs, fatigue and chronic diarrhoea for years. She visited 10 doctors in three different countries in search of answers. She was at the time diagnosed with several illnesses, from Lupus to IBS to perimenopause. It was only a doctor in Los Angeles who discovered a VIPoma, a rare tumour, on her pancreas.

She said, “If someone had f——— well diagnosed me in the four years I’d been saying I was ill, when they told me I was menopausal or had irritable bowel syndrome or [was] crazy — I used that word advisedly because one doctor referred me for a psychiatric assessment — then one operation possibly could have cleared the whole thing and I could describe myself as cancer-free, which I cannot now ever be.” (Agencies)
