After being diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in late 2022, Sophie Kinsella decided to share the news with her followers. She explained that she kept the diagnosis private initially to ensure her children could process the information and adjust to the ‘new normal’.

Despite the tough battle, Kinsella shared that she remains stable and generally well, although she often experiences fatigue and humorously noted that her memory has taken a hit.
Kinsella expressed her gratitude towards her family, friends, and the medical professionals who have supported her throughout her treatment journey. She also extended her appreciation to her readers for their unwavering support, particularly highlighting the positive reception of her latest book release, ‘The Burnout‘.
The bestselling author concluded her statement by sending love and well wishes to all individuals facing cancer, emphasizing the importance of the support and care provided by loved ones during such challenging times.
