AceShowbiz - Kate Micucci is declared cancer-free after undergoing successful surgery. The 43-year-old actress - probably famed for playing "The Big Bang Theory" character Raj's love interest Lucy on the show in eight episodes between 2013-2017 - first revealed last week in a video on TikTok she had the disease while stressing in the clip she had "never smoked a cigarette in my life."
Kate took to TikTok again on Sunday, December 17 and said she felt "lucky and grateful" to be alive, adding, "Hey everyone! I just wanted to thank you all so much for the good wishes and all the love that I have received this past week."
"It meant so much to me and really came at a time that I really needed it so thank you. I have great news, which is that I am cancer free! The surgery last week went great. All the reports came back that it worked - I don't need to do any other treatment."
"So big thank you to all my doctors and nurses and everyone that took just really great care of me. And thanks to figuring it out early because I am very very lucky and I know that."
"I'm just really grateful that things worked out as they did. I'm feeling really good today and I'm honestly just so excited and truly grateful. So thank you all for all the prayers and wishes. I'm just glad I can report some good news to you."
The actress added she was "excited to hang with my little boy for Christmas" and was seen kissing her three-year-old son, who she has with husband Jake Sinclair, at the end of the video.

Kate added, "It's been a little bit of a trip and (I'll) probably be moving slow for a few weeks but then I'll be back at it."
