Kirsty’s parents Mat and Kate noticed the coincidence and asked if the 57-year-old star could send a supportive message.
Davina obliged, and also visited the family in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Mat said: “She is as lovely and generous as you’d hope.
“There was lots of laughing and hugging.”
Kirsty’s 70 weeks of chemo are starting to shrink the tumour.
She can read and watch films again.
Mat said: “Davina had her brain tumour removed on the same day that Kirsty was admitted to hospital and diagnosed.
“She is local to us so I wondered if we could get a message from her.
“They talked a lot about their respective cancer treatment.
“It was a really uplifting experience. We all felt better for having spoken to her.
