Fans of Emmerdale have worried that Sarah Sugden may undergo an emergency hysterectomy during her upcoming cancer surgery. In scenes this month, doctors diagnosed Sarah with cervical cancer – a terrifying hitch in her IVF plans.

Still, Sarah took the news in her stride, and doesn’t seem to be too worried. Instead, she’s more focused on her IVF treatment, following a successful egg harvesting appointment last week.

With Charity and Cain both having learned about Sarah’s cancer, she’s due to undergo surgery as treatment. However, some fans are worried that all might not go to plan – and that she might have to undergo a hysterectomy.

“Yes, I think the surgery will definitely result in complications + hysterectomy. And then I guess we’ll see how far Sarah is prepared to go in her pursuit of having a baby, and how far Charity will go to support her,” agreed another.

“I reckon Sarah isn’t going to make it or she has had to have a hysterectomy,” said a third on Instagram.
