Lorna has shared a health update following her recent surgery.
She shared that the surgery went smoothly, lasting about 4 and a half hours, and while recovery has its challenges, she is incredibly pleased to have had the surgery.
"My risk of getting breast cancer again has been reduced by something like 95%. So I'm going to grow up to see my grandchildren thrive; I'm going to get to spend more time with my darling Mike."
