While the cancer is not terminal, it is at stage three and she said that she is at the “beginning of a long road” after starting an “aggressive” course of chemotherapy three weeks ago. As part of the column, Mullally also highlighted that her girlfriend Sarah has been at her side throughout her treatment and called on people to support marriage equality in the upcoming election.

Because when myself and Sarah stand next to our friends, with their boyfriends or girlfriends, or husbands or wives, we know that we are equal. And we are tired of being told that we are not. Our life together is self-evident. We are not lesser than.
