star Theo Burrell has shared an emotional cancer update with fans, revealing that she remains positive despite facing challenging times.
Diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma in June 2022 at the age of 35, she recently announced that the tumour has begun to grow back.
In her Instagram post, Theo expressed her anxiety about the uncertainty of her health, as she awaits a scan in December, yet she remains focused on the positives, celebrating milestones like birthdays and fundraisers.
Taking to her page, she penned: "Yesterday The Sunday Times included an article by @edhalford_10 about my health and how I'm feeling about things. It continues to be a bit of a difficult time as I wait to find out what my scan in December shows.
"My paranoia about every ache and pain being cancer progression is pretty exhausting, but it's a reality of living with brain cancer - as many of you will already know and experience.
She added: "However, in the spirit of positivity, since my last medical appointments I've celebrated Jonah's birthday, held a whisky fundraiser, been to a wedding, and attended three birthday parties.
"Not to mention all the washing I've hung up, dishwashers I've emptied and dinners I've cooked, which truth be told, are all important to me - because they're the 'normal' things that I'm grateful I'm still able to do. There's nothing like incurable cancer to make you really appreciate every aspect of life!
Last month, the mum-of-one took to Instagram to share the latest setback that her brain tumour had started to regrow.
She wrote on social media: "It's with some heartbreak that I can confirm my glioblastoma has started regrowing. Although this was always an inevitability, it has been a difficult couple of weeks for me and my family, as we deal with the news and await a treatment plan.
"I am extremely grateful for having had such a good quality of life over the last two years, and I intend to take on the next step of my journey with everything I've got."
Despite her personal challenges, Theo is a passionate advocate for brain cancer research and serves as a patron for Brain Tumour Research. She has been actively campaigning for increased funding in this area and recently celebrated the announcement of a new brain tumor research center in Scotland, a collaboration between Brain Tumour Research and the Beatson Cancer Charity.
