Sunday Brunch star Morgan McGlynn Carr shares cancer diagnosis
Taking to Instagram, Sunday Brunch star Morgan opened up about her cancer diagnosis.
The TV star and author, who has appeared on Sunday Brunch as the resident cheese expert since 2016, shared a picture of herself lying in a hospital bed with a cold cap on.
I got a third opinion and that decision saved my life.
“Here we go,” she captioned the post. Her post also included details of her cancer journey.
“On the eve of my daughter’s first birthday, I found a lump in my right breast. I’d recently stopped breastfeeding and assumed it was related,” she wrote.
“But my husband made me promise to go to the doctor first thing Monday – and, by pure chance it happened to be CoppaFeel! Week. My feed was full of women talking about breast cancer,” she then continued.

‘Trust your gut – always’
Morgan continued: “The GP said it was definitely breastfeeding-related. The breast clinic consultant said she was 99% sure it was nothing. I got a third opinion and that decision saved my life… Trust your gut. Always.
“After scans, biopsies, mammograms, CTs, MRIs – in October 2024, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It was nothing short of earth-shattering,” she then wrote.
“But we’ve done our best to keep life feeling normal as possible for our daughter. Treatment is different for every person. No two paths are the same. But here’s what happened to me: I was given a week before chemo to get my ducks in a row, which included chopping my hair off and IVF and egg retrieval, something I’m incredibly grateful I was able to do,” she then continued.
“Then came six months of weekly chemotherapy. The hardest thing I’ve ever done. Some weeks I sat for 13 hours at a time, and I was never alone thanks to my friends who kept me company. And those who’ve been through the cold cap you’ll known it’s no joke. I had to catch my breath and get through the hardest parts before sharing this. So why now?” she then said.

Morgan talks cancer battle
“Because if even one person sees this, and it prompts them to check a lump or get a second opinion, it could save a life. Please, trust your gut,” she urged.
She then revealed that she underwent surgery two weeks ago, and received some “very, very good news”.
“I’ve not really known how to share this. To be honest, I’m still finding my feet after everything. This year has changed me. There’s still a road to recovery to come – but I’m here, I’m healing, and I’m more grateful than I’ve been,” she then added.
Her followers flooded the comment section with support.
“I am so sorry to hear. Your incredibly brave and honest post has really moved me deeply. Sending you every good wish I can imagine. It sounds like you have a phenomenal inner strength and an army of loved ones around you,” one follower commented.
“Oh my goodness, shattering news for you to take in. So, so well done for getting through it and ALSO for sharing on here. You’re an absolute [star emoji] sending energy and positivity,” another said.
