'The Big Bang Theory' Actor Kate Micucci Confirms She Is Cancer-Free

The Big Bang Theory actor Kate Micucci has announced that she is cancer-free.

Micucci who played recurring character Lucy, an ex-girlfriend of Rajesh Koothrapali (Kunal Nayar) in the long-running CBS show, first confirmed her diagnosis earlier this month (December 9), revealing that she was recovering from lung cancer surgery the previous day. 

“They caught it really early. It’s really weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life, so you know, it was a surprise. But also, I guess it happens, and so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out – I’m all good", the actor said at the time. 

However, Micucci has offered a fresh update, confirming the good news, via TikTok.

“The surgery last week went great,” she told fans in a video posted to the site.

“All the reports came back that it worked. I don’t need to do any other treatment. So big thank you to all my doctors and nurses and everyone that took just really great care of me. And thanks to figuring it out early because I am very, very lucky and I know that".

She added, "I’m just really grateful that things worked out as they did. I’m feeling really good today and I’m honestly just so excited and truly grateful. So thank you all for all the prayers and wishes. I’m just glad I can report some good news to you".
