Janey was admitted to hospital in November 2021 for ovarian cancer, which has since been diagnosed as terminal, though the disease is being kept under control. At the time, she was forced to cancel tour dates while she underwent treatment.
The comedian was told she was cancer-free in June 2022, but by the end of the year, the disease had spread to her peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.
Earlier this year, she thanked NHS staff for taking care of her as she underwent a scan and announced her cancer was "incurable".

Posting to social media, Janey wrote: "The scan news is in - me and Ashley laugh and cheer Thanks to the Scottish NHS And everyone at the Beatson I have incurable cancer but it’s treatable.
"The scan results are in and there is no change from the scan in November 2023. So that means no change, doesn't mean I am cured or the cancer has gone away."
She continued: "I am still getting the same treatment so it's a clear scan but I still have terminal cancer."
