Despite the challenges, Magda’s spirit remains unbroken. “I’m surrounded by beautiful friends, family, and an incredible medical support team,” she said. “Honestly, we have the best in the world here in Australia. I feel very lucky. And with new treatments being developed all the time, I’m hopeful.”
She’s also managed to keep her trademark humor intact. In another post, she joked about her weakened immune system, telling fans: “Please keep a distance though, because I’ll be very immunocompromised. Don’t hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.”
Her courage and authenticity have sparked an outpouring of love from fans, celebrities, and fellow performers across Australia and beyond. Many have called her not just a comedy legend but a true example of grace under pressure—a woman facing her hardest chapter with honesty, warmth, and humor intact.
As Magda continues her treatment, her openness reminds us that even in the darkest times, laughter and gratitude can still find a way to shine through.
