‘Amidst the joy of his arrival was the devastation of her cancer worsening. We are all deeply saddened and sending our love to Hannah\u2019s family – and to her husband Tom who posted this last night.’<\/p>\n

Tom’s post read: ‘Just wanted to say we are truly overwhelmed by the love and well wishes we\u2019ve received over recent weeks and completely blown away by the generosity shown towards the Just Giving fund for Rory.<\/p>\n

‘Therefore I felt it only fair to share that Hannah\u2019s condition has continued to deteriorate to the point where, amongst other things, she\u2019s not able to use her phone anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I am trying to keep an eye on her messages so even though you won\u2019t get a reply please know I am passing on your support and it is hugely appreciated.<\/p>\n

‘Hannah has always wanted to be open about her condition and raise awareness along the way, as those who followed her journey through her first diagnosis 3 years ago will know.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It had been her intention to keep writing and posting about her progress this time around, however the speed and aggression of the cancer has left her unable to.<\/p>\n

‘There are no words to describe events of the last couple of months, and we know the time we have left is short but the support we have had from everyone has been an enormous comfort.<\/p>\n

‘Thank you all – Tom x’<\/p>\n
