Jamie Theakston shares a rare update following stage one throat cancer diagnosis


The Heart Radio presenter, 53, announced he had been diagnosed with the disease two weeks ago, after listeners had noticed there was something not quite right with his voice.

Sharing a post to his Instagram Story, Jamie showed his support to the late Kris Hallenga ahead of her posthumous BBC documentary Living Every Second, which details her life following her stage four breast cancer diagnosis aged just 23. According to the NHS, symptoms of laryngeal cancer include a change in your voice, such as sounding hoarse, pain when swallowing, a lump or swelling in your neck, a long-lasting cough or breathlessness, a persistent sore throat or earache and, in the most severe cases, difficulty breathing. Doctors found a lesion on my vocal chords which I've had removed this weekend - thanks for all the kind messages - should be back on my feet soon - in the meantime...' and finished the post with a zip-up mouth emoji.
