At 64, Szubanski is confronting stage-four mantle cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer, and she has allowed her fans an intimate look into the challenges, victories, and small moments of joy that define her daily life during treatment.

Her story is one of vulnerability, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity that has touched people across Australia and around the world.

In a heartfelt video posted to social media, Szubanski thanked a young fan, ten-year-old Annabella from Adelaide, who had dressed as her iconic Kath & Kim character Sharon Strzelecki for Book Week.
