Channel Seven presenter Sally Obermeder is celebrating today after learning her five-year cancer scan came back clear.
The Daily Edition co-host made the announcement through her Instagram account, posting a screenshot of a text message from her doctor giving her the all-clear from her PET scan.
“(It’s) hard to fully describe the absolute relief, elation and immense gratitude to have had my five year scan come back clear,” she captioned the image.
Sally was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer while pregnant with her daughter Annabelle in October 2011, and delivered her before undergoing chemotherapy.
While a five-year scan does not guarantee cancer won’t ever return, it is a significant milestone in cancer recovery, according to Cancer Council Australia. PET (Positron emission tomography) scans are generally used to assess whether cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
In her post, the 43-year-old also wished “love and strength” to anyone else going through their own health battle or supporting a loved one.
“My overwhelming love to my family, my friends and my true love, Marcus, who got me through this.”
