Countryfile host Adam Henson shaken by wife’s heart-wrenching goodbye letter after nightmare cancer diagnosis
ADAM Henson has revealed his wife planned a heart-wrenching goodbye letter after her cancer diagnosis.
The beloved Countryfile presenter has previously opened up on being rocked by Charlie’s devastating news.
She felt ill for over three months before finally receiving the terrifying news that she had a 4.5cm tumour.
While undergoing treatment for the cruel disease, Adam got down on one knee and proposed to Charlie.
Now Adam has revealed his wife heart-breakingly penned letters to her loved ones in anticipation of her death.
The 58-year-old said he and Charlie “cried a lot” before she recalled how she received the shock diagnosis.
Charlie told The Mirror: “I’d sneakily Googled my symptoms and found they could indicate pancreatic cancer.
“I mentioned it to the GP and she recommended a scan. Waiting for it at the hospital I was overcome with absolute dread. I knew something awful was wrong with me.”
A subsequent scan revealed Charlie had a large tumour on her pancreas which left Adam “physically sick”.
She added: “We knew people who’d died of pancreatic cancer and I absolutely felt this was going to be the end of my life.”
Charlie also chose life-saving surgery over a honeymoon.
Adam and Charlie already have two grown up children together – Ella, 25 and Alfie, 21.
Adam recently opened up on the effect of Charlie’s pancreatic cancer battle, admitting it was as “huge shock”.
