Main claim

Tracy Shaw, best known for her role as Maxine Peacock on Coronation Street, revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Reports indicate she is HER2 positive, which has led doctors to alter her treatment plan to include five months of chemotherapy before potential surgery.
