Magda Szubanski is feeling the love from her famous pals and longtime fans as she battles cancer.
The Australian comedian announced in May that she’s battling Mantle Cell Lymphoma – a rare and fast-moving blood cancer.
And now, Magda has taken to Instagram to reveal the sweet gift she received in the wake of her diagnosis from non-profit organisation Equality.
‘A huge thank you to @equalityaustralia for gathering these touching messages of love and well-wishing from LGBTQIA people across the country,’ she captioned the post, which showed a book titled ‘Messages to Magda’.
‘I am very, very moved,’ the 64-year-old added.

Magda took to Instagram on Saturday to share a sweet gift she received in the wake of her diagnosis from non-profit organisation Equality
Her famous friends flooded the comments section of the Instagram post with support and love.
‘So much love to you x,’ celebrity chef Nigella Lawson wrote.
Terri Irwin also penned: ‘You are loved.’
Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan simply shared three purple hearts in response to the post.
Two months ago, Magda revealed that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 64.
She appeared on camera with a shaved head to reveal the shock news after beginning her treatment to fight cancer.
‘Hello my lovelies. So, the head is shaved in anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks because I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive, very serious lymphoma,’ she began.
‘It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately. But the good thing is I’m surrounded by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team.

‘Honestly, we have the best in the world here in Australia, particularly in Melbourne, so I feel very fortunate.
‘It’s pretty confronting. It is full on. But new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time.’
Magda said she has started a treatment called the Nordic protocol, which treats Mantle Cell Lymphoma by shrinking the tumours with a combination of drugs administered in five phases.
It’s known as the Nordic regimen based upon its clinical trial sites in Denmark and Norway.
The actress explained she will be ‘lying very low’ due to her weak immune system.
‘I won’t sugar-coat it: it’s rough. But I’m hopeful. I’m being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant, and I’ve never felt more held by the people around me,’ she said.
‘Please keep a distance though because I will be very immunocompromised. So I can’t hug no more.
‘Don’t hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.’
The Kath & Kim star said the cancer was discovered during a routine breast screening.
