Suosittu juontaja menehtyi syöpään vain 40-vuotiaana

Britanniassa suosittu radioääni Rachael Bland (tunnettu myös nimellä Hodges)  on kuollut rintasyöpään vain 40-vuotiaana.

15 vuotta BBC:n palveluksessa toiminut Bland sai syöpädiagnoosin vuonna 2016. Bland raportoi kokemuksistaan blogissaan ja myöhemmin BBC:n radio-ohjelmassa You, Me and the Big C.

Bland julkaisi eilen someviestin, jossa kertoi elinpäiviensä olevan lopussa.

Our brave, beautiful, wonderful, courageous Rachael died peacefully this morning surrounded by her close family. We are all heartbroken and the hole she leaves in our perfect little family will never be filled. To everyone who took an interest in her story over the last two years, downloaded the awe-inspiring You, Me and the Big C podcast or sent her messages of support, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ll never know how much those messages meant to her and us. We’ll miss her so very much but we couldn’t be prouder of what she achieved in her 40 years, and we are genuinely comforted by the impact we know she had on so many lives. Thank you. Steve and Freddie xxx

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 very very much for all your support I’ve received along the way. @bowelbabe and @girlvscancer will continue with the podcast. Obviously I cant get round to all of your messages but I’ll do my very best to read them all. #cancer #fucancer #goodbye
