She said: "I have to be incredibly grateful that I got a clear scan the last time I got scanned.
"But, I'm also very very aware that the type of cancer that I had has a 70 to 90 per cent chance of returning and that is quite a blow cause you think 'well what do I do now'?"

Godley goes on to encourage her fans to live life to the fullest in an emotional speech saying: "Well, you live! You live for the time you've got. "
"You get out, you enjoy your life and you try and keep as strong and healthy as you can until the next time some other piece of f****** s*** is flung at you then you deal with that.
"So, on one hand, I've got a clear scan and then, on the other hand, I'm acutely aware that stage three ovarian cancer is a pretty persistent b****** but I'm enjoying life as it is right now and that's what's important."

The comic ends the video by smiling triumphantly and removing her hat to reveal that her hair has started to grow back in following treatment for her cancer.
The video has amassed thousands of likes on Twitter with one person saying: "Janey, I thank you for your posts.
"As my cancer journey begins, I look to you for inspiration."
Another added: "Great philosophy, you can only tackle what's in front of you at present and not be too concerned about whatever the future may hold.
"Enjoy the present and good luck."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
