Jean said she was taking a leaf out of Daniel’s book, taking the painkillers and taking each day as it comes, and doing what she wants.
She ended the video telling her family that she loved them all, but needed to do what’s right for her.
Whilst it’s not been revealed what will happen to Jean, fans were heartbroken by the scenes.

However a few months later, Jean found out he was still alive and the two spent time together.
In February last year, Daniel forced Jean to go to her oncology appointment to get the results of her MRI.
At the appointment, Jean was told her MRI was clear. But she broke down in tears knowing Daniel would give up, hearing Jean’s cancer had gone.
Later, Daniel found out about Jean’s results. The two of them went out and sat down on a bench in Albert Square.
However Daniel ended up dying on the bench, leaving Jean heartbroken.
