Mum shares sons heartbreaking battle with cystic fibrosis.
Reggie Bird, 44, has spoken about her nine-year-old son Lucas battle with cystic fibrosis.
The mother-of-two, who won Big Brother in 2003, revealed that the nine-year-old recently told her he ‘didn’t want to live’ with the disorder, shares Daily Mail.
Speaking during an emotional podcast for WHO magazine, she said: ‘It’s mentally draining.’
‘At the moment he’s saying, “Mummy, I don’t want to live. I don’t want to live with cystic fibrosis, I don’t want to be here”.’
‘A little nine-year-old saying they don’t want to live… it’s not good,’ she added.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder where sufferers develop ‘excessively thick and sticky mucus within the lungs, airways and the digestive system’.
With no cure for the condition available yet, Reggie takes her son to physiotherapy every day for treatment.
