London - British television star Wendy Richard, who starred in soap opera EastEnders, has revealed she is dying from an aggressive form of cancer.
The 65-year-old actress has written a will and planned her funeral after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease that has attackedher kidney and spread to her bones.
She will also marry her long-term partner John Burns this week just days before she starts a course of chemotherapy, she told the Sunday Express newspaper in London.
Richard played Ms Brahms in the 1970s comedy, Are You Being Served, and then went on to play Pauline Fowler in the soap Eastenders for 21 years.
She said she was diagnosed in January, despite having been given the all-clear from cancer after her second bout in 2002.
"Twice I've had breast cancer but this is different. It's more aggressive this time, unfortunately, and has spread to the top of my spine and left ribs," Richard said.
