Lynne McGranger, known for her role as Irene Roberts on Home and Away, updates fans on Instagram following surgery to remove her overactive thyroid. The 71-year-old actress is now in recovery.
Bollywood Fever: Lynne McGranger, beloved for her role as Irene Roberts on the long-running Australian soap opera Home and Away, recently shared an update with her fans following a significant medical procedure.
The 71-year-old actress took to Instagram to post a picture of herself in a hospital bed, revealing that she had undergone surgery to remove her overactive thyroid.
In her heartfelt caption, Lynne explained the reasons behind the surgery and expressed her gratitude towards the medical staff who cared for her during this critical time.
“Less than a week ago, my toxic overactive thyroid and I parted ways. It was a long time coming—we were incompatible and quite frankly, I was exhausted,” Lynne wrote. She went on to thank the team at Mater Hospital North Sydney, including the nurses, doctors, specialists, and support staff, for making the process as smooth as possible. She gave special mention to Prof Sidhu, Dr. Michael Morris, and several others for their exceptional care.
An overactive thyroid, as described by the NHS, occurs when the thyroid gland produces an excess of hormones, leading to symptoms such as mood swings, difficulty sleeping, and weight loss.
This condition, while treatable, can be exhausting and challenging to manage, which Lynne alluded to in her message.
Lynne’s update has been met with an outpouring of support from both fans and fellow industry stars, who flooded her comments section with well-wishes for a speedy recovery.
Lynne humorously concluded her post by promising more updates on her recovery journey, saying, “I’m healing well and so far I don’t miss that dirty thyroid one bit! Stay tuned for Scar spam.”
Last year, Lynne celebrated Home and Away’s 35th anniversary alongside her castmates, reflecting on her long tenure on the show.
Since joining the cast in 1993, she has become a beloved figure in the soap opera world, with fans and colleagues alike cherishing her contribution to the series.
As Lynne continues to recover, her fans will undoubtedly be keeping an eye out for more updates and sending positive thoughts her way.
