Raising Hope and The Big Bang Theory actress Kate Micucci says she’s on her way to recovery after undergoing surgery for lung cancer.

Micucci shared a video over the weekend in which, sitting in a gown inside her hospital room, she revealed that she was recovering following a procedure to remove the cancer. The nearly one-minute update saw a smiley Micucci jokingly calling her TikTok update a “SickTok” and at one point playfully asking, “Why am I still talking? Because I’m on drugs.”

The multihyphenate also shared footage of her walking around the hospital hallways and eating a hospital food spread featuring Frosted Flakes, while she assured fans she was going to be OK.

“I’m in the hospital, but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday. They caught it really early,” she said. “It’s pretty weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life. So, you know, it was a surprise, but also, I guess it happens.”

The comedian and one-half of the musical duo Garfunkel and Oates, who had a short-lived TV series of the same name, described the surgical experience as “a little bit of a trip” and added that she’d “probably be moving slow for a few weeks, but then I’ll be back at it” following her recovery.

“The greatest news is they caught it early. They got it out. I’m all good,” she added. “Can’t wait to be painting more.”

Just a day before she shared the news of her surgery, the Steven Universe and DuckTales voice actress posted a video of herself recording “Fire Truck” — a rapid and breathy song for her new album, My Hat.
