New details emerge surrounding Neighbours star Kate Keltie’s miraculous cancer recovery

Australian actress Kate Keltie was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer last November, but she’s just shared a stunning update with fans.

New details have emerged surrounding Australian actress Kate Keltie’s miraculous recovery from the terminal cancer with a top cancer centre in Melbourne releases a statement regarding her treatment.

The former Neighbours star was being treated for stage four breast cancer last November and her friends appealed for fans on GoFundMe to help her battle the deadly disease that they said “spread to other parts of her body”.

More than $37,000 was eventually raised for the star’s treatment, but last month Keltie shared a remarkable update posted to the GoFundMe page that she is now “cancer-free”.

“I recently received results of my latest scan and was told that there had been a complete metabolic response to diseased areas,” wrote the actress, who played Michelle Scully on the soap from 1999 to 2004 as the sister of Holly Valance’s character Flick Scully. “In other words, it seems I am cancer-free.”

“The last six months have been the most challenging time I have ever experienced to say the least. The diagnosis completely turned my world upside down and it’s something I hope to never go through again.”

The GoFundMe page has since been deleted.

Questions were raised about her health turnaround and many appealed for her to come forward and share her harrowing story, but she has so far declined any interview requests.

Now the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne has spoken out about Keltie’s recovery, confirming to the Daily Mail that the actress was diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer last year and they helped to treat her.

“Kate developed breast cancer, which spread to other parts of her body including her hip bone and lymph nodes,” said Dr David Speakman, the centre’s chief medical officer.

“Kate has had a fantastic response to her treatment and currently has no metabolically active disease. However, she will require ongoing treatment and monitoring to check for any return of her cancer.”

When she announced her clean bill of health last month, Keltie also thanked family, friends fans and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre for playing a major role in her recovery.

“I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you,” she wrote. “Your support played a huge part in my navigating this horrible time. It will forever be something I remember and am truly grateful for. I also want to thank the amazing team at Peter Mac in Melbourne, and my beautiful family and friends. You are incredible.”

“The nature of my cancer having travelled through the blood stream, means that I will receive monthly infusions indefinitely, with no side effects. Surgery is also off the table at this point. Life begins again.”
