Lorna Luxe has shared the most devastating update of her life – revealing that doctors have told her husband John’s cancer is now terminal and that further treatment is no longer possible.
The 43-year-old influencer has taken her 1.6 million Instagram followers on every step of their journey since former banker John was diagnosed with stage four adrenal cancer in 2023. But after a traumatic festive period, Lorna has now confirmed that the disease has spread to other organs and the couple have been left clinging to hope.
In a heartbreaking post, she wrote:
“John’s condition has worsened and he was hit with sepsis over Christmas. He’s back home with me now, but we’ve been told his cancer has progressed to other organs so treatment is no longer an option. But one thing about John, in the 16 years we’ve been married, his mindset has never wavered. We’re looking for a bit of a miracle.”
Just weeks ago, Lorna had revealed that a complication from John’s chemotherapy left him in organ failure. At one point, intensive care doctors were preparing her for the worst.
“My man is back in hospital… and while we’re both putting a brave face on it, these past few days haven’t been easy,” she explained at the time. “A complication with his chemo left him with organ failure and the ICU team were preparing me for the worst. But John isn’t the average patient – he’s somehow defied the odds.”
Despite the grim prognosis, Lorna says her husband’s spirit remains unbroken. She added that he had even been teasing her for not sharing updates online, insisting that the community they’ve built has become a lifeline.
“He’s been telling me off for not posting,” she wrote. “This is as much for him as it is for you.”
The couple’s battle has been long and brutal. In April 2023, John was first diagnosed with stage three cancer and underwent chemotherapy. He went into remission in 2024 – only for the disease to return months later, spreading to his brain and adrenal gland. Last month, he underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour.
Now, with options exhausted, Lorna is leaning heavily on the love pouring in from fans.
“We’re both so grateful for the messages of support and genuine kindness you’ve given us,” she said. “I don’t think I’d have got through this year without you – it’s become my lifeline.”
Followers flooded her page with messages of hope and love, urging John to keep fighting and reminding Lorna she isn’t facing this alone.
Through unimaginable heartbreak, Lorna Luxe is still holding onto the same word she keeps repeating – miracle.
