Sophie Kinsella, the author behind the "Shopaholic" book series, shared on Wednesday that she has been undergoing treatment for an "aggressive" form of brain cancer.
Kinsella, 54, whose real name is Madeleine Sophie Wickham, wrote on Instagram that she was diagnosed with glioblastoma at the end of 2022. She said she waited to share her health battle because she wanted to make sure her children could "process the news in privacy and adapt to our 'new normal.'"
"I have been under the care of the excellent team at University College Hospital in London and have had successful surgery and subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which is still ongoing," she wrote Wednesday.
"At the moment all is stable and I am feeling generally very well, though I get very tired and my memory is even worse than it was before!"
The comments section of Kinsella's post was quickly filled with love and support.
