The BBC's 40-year-old journalist received a call that would completely change his life a year ago, where someone across the phone said, "We have bad news." Even after being diagnosed with cancer, she tried to live normally; to go to work, to walk her 1-year-old little boy, Freddie, to dine with her family ... as long as she is left! Yet it seems that Rachael is experiencing the toughest moments, starting with her Twitter posts that have teased all the followers, family and close friends.
"Same as legend Frank Sinatra said - I'm afraid the time has come for my friends. All of a sudden. They told me I had a few days [life]. It's so surreal. Thank you all for all your support. Goodbye to my friends, "the journalist writes.
In the words of the legendary Frank S - I'm afraid the time has come my friends. And suddenly. I'm told I've only got days. It's very surreal. Thank you so much for all the support I've received. Debs and lozz will continue with the #youmebigc podcast. Au revoir my friends. ?? pic.twitter.com/DhMurbqMJz

Among other things, Rachal Bland announced shortly before that he would write a book for his son, who will serve as a guide in the future.
"It was an idea I had just diagnosed but did not think I should really put it into action. As soon as I got the news in April I started writing. I wanted to leave something behind my son. When he grows up he'll teach all the stories from my husband, Steve. But Steve does not remember things as I remember them. So I want words to understand my personality and listen to my voice. The final chapter will be a closing message for Freddie. I want him to know that what he wants in life can be done. Do not want to forget me! I am very annoyed when I think: If he is upset about anything, how can he go without me there? I want to see Freddie go to school, university, join a football team etc. etc. "
