I wasn't able to locate an exact article titled:
"The last weeks of my life have been a revelation – I'm more sure than ever about 1 thing" – JAMES WHALE
However, several reputable news outlets have recently published profound and deeply moving updates on James Whale’s condition. Here’s a clear summary with direct quotes:
📰 Health Update Summary
1. Cancer prognosis and final weeks
-
James Whale, aged 74, is facing the terminal stages of stage‑4 kidney cancer, which has metastasized to his spine, brain, and lungs. His doctors estimate he has only weeks to live (LBC).
-
He emotionally shared:
“I'm actually in my last couple of weeks. … my oncologist … said I probably have only got weeks to go.” (Yahoo Style, LBC)
2. Reflections on life and broadcast career
-
Whale reflected on his five decades in broadcasting, saying:
“Over the 50 years, I have interviewed and chatted to some of the most amazing people. … Maybe we'll catch up for the last time.” (Yahoo Style) -
He admitted the emotional toll of his prognosis:
“I spend a lot of time crying. And it really… it's a bit embarrassing, Paula, to be quite honest with you.” (Yahoo Style)
3. Hospice and final message

In a poignant podcast episode in late July, James revealed he has moved into a hospice and shared what he believes may be his final message to listeners:

Despite severe symptoms—such as breathing difficulty, memory lapses, pressure sores, and exhaustion—he maintained he was not in pain, expressing a calm acceptance of his path:
“I’m fine. … I’ve got so many drugs in me, I can’t feel a thing.” (The Sun)
4. ‘Final interview’
“I’m still on the TV and radio but not for much longer. I love you all, guys.” (The Sun)
🧭 Did the article exist?
The specific phrasing you mentioned doesn’t match any existing articles on major UK news platforms like The Independent, LBC, or The Sun. It’s possible the line originated from a podcast, an informal post on social media, or simply is an interpreted headline not formally published.
✅ Final note
Would you like me to search explicitly for podcast transcripts or video segments where he may have said something along those lines? I can also check smaller blogs or fan sites in case it's sourced from there. Let me know!
