💔 Heartfelt news about Dame Esther Rantzen: At 85, the beloved television presenter has been diagnosed with a second type of cancer. After revealing she had stage four lung cancer in 2023, she’s now facing another battle. In a candid piece, Esther shared that her team has decided against treatment as the side effects would outweigh the benefits. She expressed, “While the cancers are progressing, they’re doing so very slowly.”
Reflecting on life and love, Esther, who was married to Desmond Wilcox for over 20 years before his passing in 2000, spoke of her hope of reuniting with her late husband and loved ones. “If there’s a heaven, it would be a very happy place,” she mused, cherishing the thought of meeting Desmond and others she’s lost.
Esther’s poignant memories remind us of the enduring power of love. On ‘Piers Morgan’s Life Stories’, she shared Desmond’s final words, “I adore you,” a sentiment she carries close to her heart. She beautifully expressed to her son that given the choice between 10 more years and 10 more minutes with Desmond, she’d choose those minutes.
Our thoughts are with Dame Esther Rantzen and her family during this challenging time. Her courage and grace continue to inspire. 💕 #LoveAndStrength #EstherRantzen #CourageousHeart
