Dame Esther Rantzen stage 4 cancer diagnosis: TV presenter shares how long she has left to live

Dame Esther Rantzen has revealed she asked her doctor for life expectancy after being diagnosed with lung cancer. The TV star confirmed her diagnosis in January and was undergoing various tests to find the ‘best treatment’.

The 83-year-old said she revealed her diagnosis because she didn’t like ‘skulking around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise’. In May, Dame Esther gave a health update, saying she had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
