Dame Esther Rantzen says she's 'not good at regrets' as she issues stage 4 cancer update
Dame Esther Rantzen has admitted she's 'not good at regrets' after revealing her lung cancer has progressed to stage four. The 82-year-old broadcaster, known for presenting BBC series That’s Life! and founding charities such as Childline, confirmed in January that her lung cancer had spread.
Dame Esther said: “My diagnosis of stage four lung cancer made me realise how very lucky I’ve been in my life, working with Childline and the Silver Line, and meeting so many fascinating and inspiring people, and especially lucky to have spent 21 years working as producer/presenter of That’s Life!“I’m not good at regrets.
Dame Esther founded children’s charity Childline, which she established in 1986, in addition to her success as a journalist and broadcaster. In 2006, the charity – which offers counselling and support for children and young people in the UK up until the age of 19 – became part of the The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children .
