AN ITV presenter has revealed his wife has been diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer – months after she gave birth to their first child.<\/p>\n
Journalist Dan Salisbury-Jones, who hosts the ITV News Central bulletins, shared the heartbreaking news with fans.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Dan has shared how his wife Liz has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.<\/p>\n
It came just months after the dotting parents welcomed their son Reuben into the world.<\/p>\n
He explained Liz suffered a terrifying seizure which saw her rushed to hospital for tests last year.<\/p>\n
It was then discovered that she had a rare tumour, called Oligodendroglioma.<\/p>\n
Recalling the ordeal, Dan said: "My wife was just looking through me like there was nothing there. I really wish I knew that was normal because at the time I thought the worst. Eventually, she started recognising people and rediscovering her memory as we made our way to the hospital."<\/p>\n "She had a CT scan, which revealed a mass on the brain. We were told it was either an infection or a tumour.<\/p>\n "We convinced ourselves it was an infection and that antibiotics would resolve the issue. She was admitted and put on a drip for several days spending\u00a0Christmas\u00a0on a general\/diabetic ward at a hospital with no neurological department."<\/p>\n Thankfully Liz has a slow-growing tumour which will mean she should get to see their son grow up.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n However, Dan still said the news of the incurable disease felt like a "death sentence".<\/p>\n Liz received Chemotherapy that successfully reduced the size of the tumour.<\/p>\n Dan explained: "Liz's treatment, along with anti-epilepsy drugs, started in May and meant she lost some of her hair \u2013 although Liz's skills with a scarf mean that few people know this!<\/p>\n "Thankfully, it was successful and caused significant shrinkage in the tumour. Then it was time for PCV Chemotherapy.<\/p>\n "We are now midway through the second cycle and Liz is handling it like a trooper. There are some strict dietary requirements, which are quite confusing to start with but not that bad once you get your head around it."<\/p>\n<\/picture>katie's stand <\/span><\/p>\n
