Antiques Roadshow star Theo Burrell has been supported by her fans after explaining the new symptoms she is battling due to her brain tumour. Theo has surpassed the prognosis handed to her by doctors at diagnosis, when she was given 12-18 months to lie – now she is still going four years after the glioblastoma was discovered on her scans.

In a new Instagram post, BBC star Theo wrote: “On 7th June this year I marked 4 years since my glioblastoma diagnosis. Like other GBM patients I was expected to live for 12-18 months. In the wake of that news I had many dark thoughts including that I wouldn't see my son's 2nd birthday let alone him starting school, but I'm lucky enough to say I did! And no one can take that away from me.

“Life since second surgery in Jan this year has definitely been a bit up and down. My peripheral vision on the left has gone and I'm having to take it slowly wherever I go. My coordination is not what it was.

“However this week Alex and I got the help of my parents (thank you so much GM & GI) and we've made it to the Lakes for 4 nights of chilling out. Having such warm weather has therefore been a bit of an extra bonus.

“Of course the next scan looms but I've dug deep and found a new bit of determination (which does not always come easy) to say to the GBM 'I will not give up. Whatever the results, I'll take stock, trust my oncologist and go from there.’

“So if you're in the brain cancer world along with me - you're not alone and we've just got to take it slowly but surely - every day we make is a bit of a win for us and a 'GET LOST!'to the illness!”

Fans rushed to show her support in the comments section, with one writing: “What a strong girl. Enjoy the beautiful Lakes, such a special place.”

Someone else said: “Keep defying the odds, Theo.”

And a third echoed: “You are unique and able to write your script. Drink in all that Windermere has to offer; it looks stunning!”
