The Big Bang Theory actress Kate Micucci has undergone surgery after being diagnosed with lung cancer, despite never having smoked a cigarette in her 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”.
In the clip, she stated, “I’m in the hospital because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday. They caught it really early. It’s pretty weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life, so it was a surprise, but I guess it happens.”
She also added, “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 has also appeared in the sitcoms Scrubs and Will & Grace.
