Theo Burrell on Antiques Roadshow in 2020<\/h3>\n

Antiques Roadshow presenter Theo Burrell has said that, according to the average life expectancy for her type of brain tumour, she should only have a couple fo weeks left to live.<\/p>\n

However, the BBC star has confirmed that \u201cthings are looking OK at the moment\u201d, according to the most recent scans.<\/p>\n

Last year, the 36-year-old auction specialist received her devastating incurable brain tumour diagnosis soon after giving birth to her little boy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about the realities of living with a terminal illness, she told <\/span>MailOnline<\/span>: \u201cI don’t want to know how long I’ve got \u2014 I know myself well enough and told the doctor, \u2018If you give me a figure, I will focus on that for what’s left of my life and it won’t do me any good.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018OK, fair enough, I just want you to understand the seriousness of this situation\u2019 and I told him I absolutely get it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe average life expectancy for my type of tumour is 12 to 18 months, so, by those reckonings, I would only have a couple of weeks left,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut, according to the scans, things are looking OK for me at the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Theo celebrated her baby son Jonah\u2019s third birthday just last month, revealing they had enjoyed the festivities a few days early for fear that any bad news from scan results might ruin the event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Discussing how she tries not to focus on how much time she has left, Theo reflected: \u201cI used to worry a lot about how I’d cope with a serious illness and when I got this diagnosis it almost freed me from that. I just had to get on with it.<\/span><\/p>\n
