Jonnie Irwin had his fans rallying round after he shared an update amid his terminal cancer battle.
The 49-year-old presenter has been battling terminal lung cancer after being diagnosed back in 2020. In November last year, Jonnie went public with the heartbreaking news.
Since then, he has been keeping fans updated on how he is doing, along with his family: Jessica Holmes and their three sons – Rex, four, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two.
Jonnie Irwin shares update
Taking to his Instagram on Friday (October 6) Jonnie revealed that he’s now using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. This is used to help the lungs gather more oxygen, which allows them to breathe easier.
Alongside snaps of him in the chamber, he wrote in the caption: “I can’t tell you how happy I am with the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber lent to me by @o2worx.
No feelings of claustrophobia and it’s just big enough to get my favourite comfy chair in it!
“It’s great for people with my condition but also for recovery from injuries and general wellness. I’m not gonna preach but if you’re interested Google it – you’ll be surprised!”
Jonnie went on: “This chamber is perfect for me. No feelings of claustrophobia and it’s just big enough to get my favourite comfy chair in it! I actually look forward to each session knowing that it’s doing me good whilst being able to do a bit of work.”
