Rachael Bland

BBC presenter Rachael Bland, 40 who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 has announced, in a moving post that she has only days to live, while thanking everyone for their love and support.

In May 2018, Bland was told her cancer was incurable. Two months later, she was told her cancer had spread further.

In an August article, Bland said she was in a race against time to finish a memoir – For Freddie – she was writing for her 2-year old son Freddie.

She wanted her son to know about her when he grows up. She had hoped that it’d be published before she passes.

Like mother, like son. We love a horse in this house ?? Especially one you can wear (see stories right now) He’s now wearing it to watch Fireman Sam ? And then, I expect, to bed…. #toddlersofinstagram #toddlerlife #rideonpony #pony #horse #lovehorses #bigclittleme #newtoy #mummy #freddie #mummylove

However, in a tweet on Monday, Bland said she has only “days” to live.

The co-host of the You, Me and the Big C podcast wrote: “In the words of the legendary Frank S – I’m afraid the time has come my friends. And suddenly. I’m told I’ve only got days. It’s very surreal. Thank you so much for all the support I’ve received.”

“Au revoir my friends,” she added.
