BBC colleagues have hailed the “astonishing bravery” of Rachael Bland after the 5 live presenter and podcaster revealed she had just days to live.
Bland, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2016, has documented her battle with the disease through her blog Big C Little Me and the You, Me and the Big C podcast she co-hosts with Deborah James and Lauren Mahon.
Bland, who lives in Cheshire, was told in May this year that her cancer was incurable and that her only hope rested with a clinical trial.
But in a heartbreaking tweet yesterday, the 40-year-old revealed that she had been told she only had “days” to live.
