Kit Green begins chemotherapy in emotional Coronation Street scenes
In Coronation Street, police officer Kit Green has started chemotherapy for stage three breast cancer.
He kept his diagnosis private for weeks, and several relatives and friends have only recently learned about it.
The storyline also involves the Winter family’s concern that they may carry an inherited BRCA gene mutation, which can raise the risk of certain cancers.
Kit is preparing for treatment-related hair loss and shaves his head with help from his son, Brody.
The two have been estranged, but Brody calls Kit “dad” and urges him to keep fighting.
Kit also plans to tell Harry, the son of his ex-girlfriend Sarah, about his illness because they live under the same roof.
The episode leaves Kit facing treatment while his family learns more about his diagnosis and their possible inherited risk.
