The 65-year-old actress, sharing a picture of her PET (positron emission tomography) results, wrote in her caption: "Done my PET and they have discovered a nodule near my lung but it's below my rib cage and above my diaphragm, so a laparoscopic surgery, via the right rib has to be done to remove it and check if cancerous.
