Dame Esther Rantzen issues update after stopping cancer treatment
In a new interview, Dame Esther has revealed that she is planning an early ‘official’ Christmas, as there will be “more chance” she’s still alive to enjoy it.
Speaking to The Times, she said: “This year I am planning an ‘official’ Christmas with my children and five grandchildren, slightly ahead of the real Christmas so that there will be more chance that I am actually alive to enjoy it with them. Although I live alone, Rebecca (her daughter) will come and decorate the house beautifully, as she has done every year with all my old baubles and bits of tinsel,” she then continued.
The star then continued, saying: “When I was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2023, I did not expect to last until the next Christmas, so the fact that I am still here and looking forward to this one is a wonderful surprise,” she said.
