WATCH | ‘Frail but grateful’ — Jeremy Mansfield thanks fans for support

Jeremy Mansfield has made his first social media appearance since revealing his cancer has become terminal. 

His friend and former colleague Samantha Cowen took to her Facebook timeline to share a video of the frail broadcaster expressing his gratitude to his fans. 

“Jeremy wanted to say thank you to all of you for your kindness and messages. Today is a better day for him than it has been for a very long time. Thank you to all of you. Have a wonderful weekend,” she wrote.

In the video Jeremy says he wants to have a Zoom session to interact with his supporters on a day when he feels well enough to do so.

“It’s up and down. Today is one of those up days. There have been up and down days,” he said.

Thirteen years ago the media personality survived his battle with leukaemia after nine months of treatment.

In August this year, the former 702 presenter took to his Facebook timeline to reveal his liver cancer diagnosis and said he'd reached stage 4.

In the post, Jeremy said he wanted to dedicate the time he has left to having as much fun as possible. 

“Have had it confirmed by the specialist surgeon that is leading everyone in the team looking after me that my cancer is confirmed stage 4 terminal and is now only subject to palliative care.

“This dream team (as I now refer to them) will guide me through how to have as much fun in the time I have left and fulfil as many dreams, big and small, as I have in my bucket list. A new journey for Kari and the rest of our families start today,”
