South African radio and TV personality Jeremy Mansfield is continuing his battle against terminal stage 4 Cancer.

This was shared by his dear friend and former radio colleague Samantha Cowen on Facebook who provides regular updates on Mansfield’s health.

Stage 4 cancer

Earlier this year, Mansfield shared the sad news that he had been diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer.

“[I] have had it confirmed by the specialist surgeon, 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 now 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 starts today,” he wrote.
