Soap Star Patrika Darbo Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Patrika Darbo has been a fan favorite among daytime fans since her debut as lovable but conniving Nancy Wesley on Days Of Our Lives. Now, the actress is sharing an important message with her followers — one that could be life-saving!

Darbo, a Prime Time Emmy winner for her role on Acting Dead as Margot has taken to Instagram urging her followers to use sunscreen and be mindful of the effects that the sun can have on one’s skin.

The actress, who has also played Shirley on The Bold And The Beautiful, made two posts, one showing a bandage on her nose, and another showing her post-surgery, saying that there was more cancer than originally thought.

Fellow daytime stars including Bobbie Eakes (ex-Macy, BB), Jordi Vilasuso (Rey, The Young And The Restless), and Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa, DAYS) weighed in with support for Darbo.

“Oh my gosh! Patrika! I had no idea. Hang in there! Praying over and over for you ,” posted Lilley. “Healing for you,” wrote Vilasuso, adding some supportive emojis!

“Patrika my dear!,” shared Eakes. “Thinking of you and hoping for your speedy recovery. Thanks for the reminder.” Soap Hub wishes Darbo a speedy recovery from this ordeal!
