Malandra spoke about how she has gone into "combat mode" amid her cancer diagnosis.
She said: "I’ve kind of gone into combat mode. If I look back, I’ve given it everything I can and that’s all I can do. I hate to say it, but when it’s your life at stake you’re prepared to do everything to get through. That’s helped me focus."
Malandra met a MacMillan nurse as she received her diagnosis, and spoke about the moment she learned she had cancer.
"She nearly broke down telling me, but I just went, 'Don't be daft!' We'll get through it and I'm going to ring that bell," she said.
The actress explained that before her diagnosis, she felt that something was wrong.
"I didn't feel like I was breaking down," she said. "But I just couldn't eat or do anything. There was something in the back of my mind that knew what was going on inside my body."
