I've never smoked a cigarette: Micucci on her cancer
Taking to TikTok, the 43-year-old actor posted a video in which she said, "Hey everybody, this is not a TikTok, it's a 'Sick Tok.' I'm in the hospital but it's because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday." She added: "They caught it really early. It's really weird because I've never smoked a cigarette in my life so uh, you know, it was a surprise."
This is how the lung cancer was detected early
She went on to write in the comments section about how the disease was diagnosed. "I had one thing in my bloodwork that came back really high ... It was HCRP ... not sure what that is exactly but I guess it means there is inflammation somewhere," she said, adding she went to a preventative doctor for scans following which the spot was noticed.
'I'll probably move slowly for a few weeks but...'
Even though the comic was surprised that she got cancer, she informed her followers that it does happen. "And so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out, I'm all good," she wrote. "It's been a little bit of a trip and [I'll] probably be moving slowly for a few weeks but then I'll be back at it."
