Uterine cancer symptoms can be mistaken for menopause, says actor Alex Kingston
Uterine cancer symptoms can be mistaken for menopause! Actor Alex Kingston shares her experience
Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Kingston has spoken publicly for the first time about being diagnosed with womb cancer. The actor, who is paired with professional dancer Johannes Radebe on the BBC show, revealed that she underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy after her diagnosis last year.
Womb cancer, also called uterine cancer, is the fourth most common cancer among women in the UK, after breast, lung and bowel cancers. It is more likely to occur after menopause.
In an interview with The Independent, the 62-year-old said she finished her treatment in late 2024 and is now in recovery. Kingston admitted she had put her symptoms down to getting older.
“I had assumed that the way I was feeling was old age, and I just sort of accepted it,” she said. “I thought, ‘OK, this is what it's like to be in my sixties'. But a lot of how I was feeling was to do with my illness.”
What led to her diagnosis?
Kingston said she had been experiencing bloating and achiness for years but ignored them. It wasn't until she noticed blood in her urine and later haemorrhaged on stage during a performance last summer that she sought medical help.The diagnosis took her by surprise.
“Even though my body was telling me there was something very seriously wrong, I kept thinking, ‘Oh, I've got a bad UTI or fibroids,'” she said, adding that she hadn't “gone down the cancer road” in her head.How serious was the cancer?
Doctors found cancer in her fallopian tubes, but Kingston said she was “lucky” it hadn't spread to her ovaries. After her surgery, she said she “suddenly felt like myself again” and realised she hadn't felt that way “for years”.Also read | 'Taboo that cancer patient has to sit at home and do nothing is not true': Hina Khan on cancer-battling artists in Entertainment industry
Despite the shock, Kingston, known for her roles in ER and Doctor Who, decided to join Strictly Come Dancing this year with the mindset that “life's too short.”
What message does she have for others?
Kingston, who is married to TV producer Jonathan Stamp and has a daughter from a previous relationship, urged others to trust their instincts when it comes to their health.“What I would say is, the body does know – and that was the body saying to me, ‘Help! There's something really wrong.' It's so important to seek advice and have a check-up.”
