TV presenter announces return of cancer after clear tests

A TV and radio presenter has announced her cancer has returned after receiving clear scans.

In April 2023, Mari Grug, a regular on Welsh TV channel S4C, was diagnosed with breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes and liver.

A year later, the 40-year-old revealed that she received the “best news possible” with tests showing that his liver was free of cancer.

“Unfortunately the cancer has returned and I am about to start a course of chemotherapy,” she said in a social media post on Tuesday.

The Prynhawn Da and Heno presenter, from Pembrokeshire, previously said she felt lucky to be alive after her breast cancer spread to her lymph nodes and liver.

She said doctors initially told her to expect only palliative care.

However, after a year of chemotherapy, breast removal surgery and radiation therapy, two consecutive scans showed that her liver was cancer-free.

“It’s great and positive and a step in the right direction – but you never know with cancer,” she said in May after clear scans.

“For those who know and understand cancer, it is likely that there is a microdisease somewhere or some cells that have not manifested themselves.”
