Former Home and Away star Sarah Roberts has opened up about surgery to remove a fibroid described as the size of a golf ball. The actress, who co-hosts the Cracking On podcast with Sam Frost, was hospitalised in October for a myomectomy. In an Instagram post to her followers, she said the growth had caused painful periods and trips to emergency. Roberts thanked fans and her partner, Jake Iesu, for their support during her recovery.
In Home and Away this week, Eden, played by Stephanie Panozzo, leaves hospital and treatment to spend her remaining time on the farm with husband Cash and family. Visitors are surprised by her upbeat spirit, but alone with Cash she admits she is scared to die. Elsewhere, Levi, played by Tristan Gorey, proposes to long-time girlfriend Mackenzie on the beach. The couple have recently struggled after failed attempts to fall pregnant. The show airs Monday to Thursday at 7pm on Channel Seven.
Tane is considering leaving Summer Bay after struggling to be apart from baby Archie, and he makes a proposal to Mali. Meanwhile, Eden's health is deteriorating and she is suffering from aplastic anaemia. Doctors say they are running out of treatment options, and Cash struggles to accept the situation. Eden later checks out of hospital, and no one knows where she is. The storyline airs Monday to Thursday at 7pm on Channel Seven.
