British author Sophie Kinsella, who wrote 'Confessions of a Shopaholic,' which starred Isla Fisher on the big screen, revealed that she has brain cancer.

British author Sophie Kinsella, best known for her best-selling 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' book series, revealed on social media that she has been undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. Kinsella wrote in the caption for an Instagram post, 'To my dear readers & followers, I’ve wanted for a long time to share with you a health update and I’ve been waiting for the strength to do so. At the end of 2022 I was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer.

Fisher commented on Kinsella’s post, writing, 'Sending you so much love and healing energy.' The 54-year-old has five children, four sons and a daughter, with her husband, Henry Wickham. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? She concluded her post, 'To everyone who is suffering from cancer in any form I send love and best wishes, as well as to those who support them. It can feel very lonely and scary to have a tough diagnosis, and the support and care of those around you means more than words can say.' 'I’ll be in touch soon, and in the meanwhile, greetings from sunny London,' she added, referring to the gray skies in the photo she shared in her post.

Glioblastoma is a rare and fast-growing cancer that starts in the brain, but is the most common type found in adults, according to Cedars-Sinai. Treatments typically involve surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, and though there is no real cure, they can manage symptoms and help prolong a patient’s life.
