The wife of footy star Jamie Cripps has shared an update after she went through surgery amid her cancer battle.

Liv Cripps took to Instagram on Monday to reveal that she had lymph nodes removed after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer back in 2021.

Sharing a selfie from her hospital bed,Liv,who is married to West Coast Eagles star Jamie,urged her followers to get checked by a doctor if they find any unusual bumps.


'Round 2 and a few less lymph nodes later,' she said. 'This is your reminder to get those lumps and bumps checked!! #f*cancer,' she said. 

Liv,a mum of two,can be seen wearing a hospital gown with a bandage across her neck in the photo.

The footy world has rallied around the Cripps family ever since Liv's diagnosis three years ago.

'You hear the word,'cancer' and you immediately think of the worst-case scenario.

'It was just a very sad time. Even telling close friends and family,that was the worst thing. I don't think either of us could get the words out without crying.'

After receiving a good prognosis,Liv waited until after her wedding to get treatment.

The five year survival rate for women with papillary thyroid cancer is 97 per cent,according to Cancer Council.
