Katie Price has revealed that her mother has just been diagnosed with a terminal condition. The English celebrity was devastated to find out that her mother has been given less than a decade to live. The mother and daughter appeared on live television to discuss the diagnosis and what this means for their family.
Price's mother was diagnosed with a lung condition
According to The Sun, Katie Price's mother was recently diagnosed with a lung condition called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This condition is terminal and Katie Price has been struggling with her mother's recent diagnosis.
The condition involves a build-up of scar tissue on the lungs, which over the years makes it increasingly difficult to breathe.
While there is treatment available, it has been confirmed that this does not work for every patient and has not been proved to expand their life span beyond three years after they have received their initial diagnosis. Some individuals with this condition can be prone to heart failure and chest infections.
According to the Daily Mail, Katie Price and her mother Amy recently appeared on the TV series "Loose Women" to talk about Amy's diagnosis. Price's mother revealed that she had been going to doctors for years thinking that she had asthma and never knew that she was suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
It has been confirmed that Amy has between three and five years left to live due to her condition.
Price has been dealing with a lot recently
According to the Daily Mail, Katie Price's news about her mother follows both a miscarriage and the revelation that her husband cheated on her. Price shockingly revealed that she suffered a miscarriage on "Loose Women" only days before she discovered that her husband had been cheating on her.
The pair has since separated and Price has confirmed that she is filing for divorce.
According to The Sun, a source revealed that Price is still in shock about her mother's diagnosis. The celebrity is spending some time at home and has canceled her upcoming tour in order to deal with the recent events in her life. Price tweeted out that her mom has a fighter spirit and that she is very thankful for having her in her life.
Fans were shocked at the news of Amy's diagnosis, as it seems that Katie Price is not catching any breaks recently. The star is spending some much-needed time with her family and is currently taking some time away from work.
Katie Price has confirmed that her mother will only live up to another five years in her life and has stated that Amy will be spending her remaining years traveling and doing everything she wants to before she passes.
