English actress, Lucy Davis, has revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer about a year and a half ago, saying the disease has spread to her bones and is incurable.

Davis, best known for playing Dawn Tinsley in the BBC comedy series The Office, disclosed her diagnosis in a post on Instagram on Tuesday.

She said the cancer had metastasised to her spine, right hip and ribs, adding that it was “too late for chemo.”

“I wanted to share something with you all that I’ve kept to myself for a while but for various reasons would like to share now.
