ESTHER Rantzen's daughter has given a heartbreaking health update on her mum's condition as she lives with terminal lung cancer.
Rebecca Wilcox appeared on tonight's 5 News and revealed a new medication to improve her condition was not working.
She told host Julian Druker: “I really wish that was true”; but “I don’t think that’s the case anymore.”;
Dame Esther, 84, who was diagnosed with stage four cancer in 2023 after finding al ump in her armpit.
She is an advocate for making assisted dying legal in the UK and had been considering travelling to Dignitas, inSwitzerland, for anassisted death, but said: “The current law means my family could be prosecuted if I go.”;
She went on: “This is not right and as it is my life, I, like the majority of the public, believe it should be my choice.”;
Last year Sir Kier Starmer said he would “definitely”; like a vote on assisted dying in parliament within five years as “delay just prolongs the agony”;.
Esther previously told the Today programme's podcast: “Anything can happen. I live in a forest, a tree can fall on me.
“I’ve got to drop off my perch for some reason, and I’m 83 damn it.
“I should be jolly grateful and indeed am.”
