The Big Bang Theory actress Kate Micucci has had surgery after being diagnosed with lung cancer despite having “never smoked a cigarette in my life”.
The 43-year-old US actress and comedian shared a video of herself on TikTok lying in a hospital bed, joking that she was posting a “SickTok”.
“I’m in the hospital but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday, they caught it really early,” she said in the clip.
“It’s pretty weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life so it was a surprise but also, I guess it happens.
“And so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out, I’m all good.
“But 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.”

Micucci, who played Lucy the love interest of Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) on The Big Bang Theory, also revealed how she was first diagnosed.
She said: “I had one thing in my bloodwork that came back really high.
“So I went to a preventative doc who did a few scans. He scanned my heart and that’s where the spot in my lung was noticed.”
Micucci has also appeared in the sitcoms Scrubs and Will & Grace.
