Back in June, BWW reported that Luft's highly-acclaimed UK Tour of JUDY - THE SONGBOOK OF JUDY GARLAND would end earlier than scheduled due to her imminent treatment for breast cancer. Lorna was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and had finished her last treatment of chemotherapy in 2013 . She had been clear for the last two years until the recent news of its return.
