Antiques Roadshow's Theo Burrell Says Scans Are Clear, Will Attempt Next Chemo Cycle Despite Setbacks

The 38-year-old was diagnosed in 2022 with grade four glioblastoma.

Overview

  • Recent scans showed no active cancer cells, with temozolomide continuing to control the disease.
  • She reported profound fatigue and regular headaches, along with a brief visual seizure that led to a hospital check.
  • The tenth chemotherapy cycle was especially difficult, leaving her bedridden for days with new side effects.
  • She intends to proceed with an eleventh cycle despite feeling miserable about more treatment.
  • Doctors initially gave her a two-year prognosis in 2022, and she now raises awareness as a patron of Brain Tumour Research.
