Influencer Lorna Luxe has shared the heartbreaking news that her husband John’s cancer has progressed to his other organs and treatment is no longer viable.
The 43-year-old fashion influencer, whose real name is Lorna Andrews, revealed the update in an Instagram video posted Monday, Jan. 12. Her husband John Andrews, 64, was first diagnosed with stage three cancer in 2023.
“We’ve had some pretty devastating news,” Luxe said in a voiceover accompanying a romantic video of the couple taken during a November trip to Venice. “When I was trying to find a way to explain what feels like a pretty bleak situation, I started going through my camera roll, and I found this unposted vid of us taken in Venice last November. I am so grateful we booked that trip.”
Cancer’s Relentless Advance
The couple’s cancer journey has been marked by a series of increasingly difficult diagnoses:
- March 2023 – John revealed his initial stage three cancer diagnosis and began chemotherapy
- November 2024 – Cancer spread to his brain, with a new mass discovered
- Christmas 2025 – John developed sepsis and was hospitalized
- January 2026 – Doctors confirmed cancer has spread to multiple organs
Luxe explained that John’s condition has “worsened” significantly since their Venice trip. Over Christmas, he developed sepsis, requiring hospitalization. Though he’s now back home, the news they received was crushing.
“He’s back home with me now, but we’ve been told his cancer has progressed to other organs, so treatments [are] no longer an option,” she said.
A 16-Year Love Story Under Siege
The couple, married for 16 years, has been remarkably open about their journey. John, a former banker, has appeared frequently in Luxe’s content, showing their life together in the English countryside.
Despite the devastating prognosis, Luxe remains focused on her husband’s resilience. “I think he’s possibly the bravest person,” she said. “And I suppose at this point we’re looking for a bit of a miracle and we’re going to take each day as it comes.”
Her determination to maintain hope shines through even the darkest moments. “We can’t lose hope … we haven’t come this far just to come this far,” she added, noting that John’s “mindset has never wavered” throughout their ordeal.
The Unfolding Medical Crisis
The progression of John’s cancer has been swift and merciless. After the initial 2023 diagnosis, the couple faced each new development with characteristic openness:
October 2025 Update: Luxe shared that John’s adrenal cancer had “spread to [his] lymph nodes,” and doctors discovered “a new mass on the brain.”
November 2024 Revelation: In an Instagram post, Luxe wrote, “After John’s recent scan, we learned that as well as the cancer on his adrenal gland, he also has a new cancer on the brain. We’ve had a good cry. The good news is we have a plan to attack it … I’m devastated … but we’re a team and we’ll get through this.”
Each announcement has been accompanied by the couple’s trademark honesty, with Luxe balancing devastating news with expressions of gratitude for their time together and determination to face whatever comes next.
