Dame Esther Rantzen has revealed that her lung cancer is at Stage 4 after being diagnosed with the disease earlier this year. The television presenter previously shared a statement regarding her diagnosis "because I find it difficult to skulk around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise".
In a new interview with The Mirror, Esther has shared that she is being treated with "one of the new medications", although "nobody knows if it's working or not". An upcoming scan is due to reveal whether the treatment has been targeting the cancer.
Although the cancer is Stage 4, the That's Life! presenter, 82, claims that she is grateful to have enjoyed a long life and successful career in television, which has spanned six decades. Following her diagnosis, Esther has been reflecting on her work, achievements, and the family members and friends she has loved over the years.
