“So it looks like this will be getting near the end of it – and it’s really difficult to speak about this and say it to people.”
She thanked the NHS and various hospitals and staff who care for her, “right down to the wee woman who holds my hand and makes me tea”.
She added: “It is devastating news to know I’m facing end of life, but we all come to an end sometime.
“The overwhelming support has been amazing and I don’t know how long I’ve got left before anybody asks.
“Thanks everybody for all your love, and know that I really, really appreciate the outpouring of love and the support that you’ve gave me.”
