Beverley Callard has shared a deeply emotional update with fans after reaching a major milestone in her treatment journey.
The Coronation Street favourite, 69, revealed that she has completed her final radiotherapy session after being diagnosed with breast c@ncer earlier this year. The actress has been keeping followers updated throughout her hospital appointments, treatment plan and return to work, and her latest message brought a wave of relief and support.
Speaking in an Instagram update, Beverley told fans that she had finished session number 10 and admitted she felt thrilled that this stage was now complete. She said she hoped she would not need any more radiotherapy, while making clear she will know more after future appointments with her medical team.
Her husband, Jon McEwan, was by her side during the update and gently reminded her to keep focusing on positive thinking. Beverley agreed, saying that was exactly what she intended to do as she looked ahead to the next steps.
The actress also spoke honestly about the strange mix of emotions that came with finishing treatment. She admitted she felt slightly numb after struggling the day before, even though the final session itself had gone well.

For now, Beverley said she will return to see her professor in two months, when she expects to learn more about what comes next. She also mentioned future checks, including mammograms and oncology follow-ups, as part of the ongoing process.
But after weeks of hospital visits and uncertainty, she allowed herself to acknowledge one important thing: radiotherapy is finished for now.
Rather than planning a big night out, Beverley said she and Jon were too tired to celebrate properly. Instead, she joked that her perfect evening would involve putting on scruffy clothes, sitting down in front of the television and enjoying a simple cup of tea.
That quiet response felt very Beverley: honest, grounded and full of the humour fans have loved for decades.
Last month, the actress explained that her treatment plan involved 10 days of radiotherapy, split across two blocks of five consecutive days with a weekend break in between. At the time, she said she was waiting for details of scans and mapping before the sessions began.
Beverley had also revealed that doctors were concerned her radiotherapy should perhaps have started sooner following her diagnosis. The star, who moved to Ireland from England, said there had been delays while her medical records were transferred between countries.
Addressing her fans she said: ‘I’ve done it. I’ve just finished my last radiotherapy session. Fingers crossed’
Even amid the treatment process, Beverley has been determined to keep going. She recently marked a huge personal milestone by returning to work after four months away while she underwent surgery and continued her recovery.
The actress joined the cast of Ireland’s RTÉ soap Fair City earlier this year, playing Lily, the unpredictable long-lost mother of Carrigstown resident Gwen. But just as she was preparing to film, she received the phone call telling her she had breast c@ncer and returned to the UK for surgery and treatment.
When she finally arrived back on set, Beverley admitted she felt nervous and on edge, comparing it to the first day of a new school term. Jon drove her to work, and she asked fans to wish her luck as she stepped back into filming.
After the day was over, Beverley sounded delighted. She said the return had been fantastic, explaining that once she was back in the building, it felt as though she had never been away. The cast and crew were pleased to see her, and the day was filled with laughter, giggles and relief.
Her latest update now gives fans another reason to rally around her. While Beverley still has follow-up appointments ahead, completing radiotherapy marks a powerful step forward after a difficult few months.
For many followers, her openness has made the journey feel even more moving. She has not tried to hide the hard parts, but she has also kept showing flashes of humour, gratitude and determination.
And as Beverley settles in for that quiet cup of tea, her fans will be hoping this latest milestone brings comfort, strength and a little more peace after a demanding chapter.
