CNN —Sophie Kinsella, the best-selling author behind the “Shopaholic” book series, has revealed that she is receiving treatment for brain cancer. “I’ve wanted for a long time to share with you a health update and I’ve been waiting for the strength to do so,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “At the end of 2022 I was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer. Glioblastomas are a fast-growing type of brain tumor and the most common type of cancerous (malignant) brain tumor in adults, according to charity Cancer Research UK. The wonderful response to The Burnout has really buoyed me up, during a difficult time,” she continued.
