Linda Lusardi health: ‘The whole ordeal was terrifying’ Star opens up about cancer scare

Linda Lusardi, 62, is an actress, television presenter and former glamour model. The star was knocked to her feet earlier this year when she was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was hospitalised with serious symptoms of the deadly virus. Linda, however, is no stranger to major health scares after a five-pound lump was found on her womb with the threat of cancer being very real for the star.

“All the side-effects have been positive. I lost weight straight away – about seven pounds and my legs have become slimmer and I’ve got the flattest stomach I’ve ever had.

“I have more energy, my clothes fit better and I’m back to the size I was five years ago before this thing started to grow inside of me.”

“I used to have a little bit of pain,” she confesses.

“Now it couldn’t be better.”

• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Menstrual periods lasting more than a week
• Pelvic pressure or pain
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty emptying the bladder
• Constipation
• Backache or leg pains
