"I'm all in the clear now, thank God."

The BAFTA-winning actress, Abela, added:

"I don't have a working thyroid so these pills sort of create one. I'm never going to miss those appointments. The thyroid is all to do with your hormones, and staying on top of your hormones, as a woman, to make sure things are running as they should, is important."

Marisa Abela thought that her cancer treatment would impact her acting career

Marisa Abela, who is now in good health after overcoming thyroid cancer, once feared that her cancer treatment might hamper her acting career. During an interview with The Times in October 2024, while talking about the time when she came back home from the hospital, Abela said:

"When I first went to the bathroom after surgery and I saw myself in the mirror, I thought, 'That's it, my career is over,' because [my neck] was stapled, bloody. It wasn't pretty at all and the scar is big. [I couldn't] imagine ever playing a charcter where description isn't, 'And she has this big scar on her neck.'"

The critically acclaimed actress further added:

"There's a distrust within your body that I really wouldn't wish on anyone. This thing existed inside me for years without me knowing it was there - and that has changed my realtionship with my body. I'm really not an 'everything happens for a reason' kind of person, and I don'tthink that should happen to anyone, but I think that it does mean that you have a real perspective on what is imporatnt and what's not."
