Kristal Tin Yui-lee, 48-year-old Hong Kong actress and former TVB star, has revealed on social media that cancer cells were found in her lymph nodes, more than a year after being diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. She discovered the recurrence after experiencing a persistent low fever at the end of last year, which she initially suspected was a bacterial infection. A lymph node biopsy after Chinese New Year confirmed the cancer cells. She is being supported by her husband Chapman To Man-chak, an oncologist at a Taiwan hospital, and a Buddhist master.
