"The Big Bang Theory" actress Kate Micucci provided a health update after she was recently diagnosed with lung cancer.
"I have great news, which is that I am cancer-free! The surgery last week went great," Micucci, 43, revealed in a TikTok post. "All the reports came back that it worked, I don’t need to do any other treatment."
"So big thank you to all my doctors and nurses and everyone who took just, really great care of me. And thanks to figuring it out early because I am very, very lucky and I know that."

The New Jersey native noted what she is looking forward to during the holiday season as she recovers.
"I’m excited to hang with my little boy for Christmas."
Her health update ended with a sweet video of her son running toward his mother as he kissed her.
