Poor Mark, I wanted to hug him

[@sfoster.23]

So heartbreaking to see one of our country’s finest in tears

[@moomoopuppy5810]

It hurts to hear this from one of my favorite uk comedians/writers. My aunt had a tumor in her throat, luckily it was found early because it interfered with her eating. I am so sorry for the loss both your mom and your sister within such a short time span.

[@leahporritt8023]

Aww it’s okay to be upset mark I hope you will be okay it’s fine to cry 😭

[@haddonfieldradio666]

The love and admiration I have for Mark Gatiss is just unparalleled....I love you, sir!

[@Eli_Stevenson]

Mark gives me strength he stays so strong. My Mama has terminal lung cancer and I watch this after I found out and it made me realise how fragile life is.

[@boodo9484]

Your so amazing Mark . Your mum and sister will always be so proud of you . ❤️ . Stay strong and know that you have so many people who love you x

[@mikebasil4832]

I too have lost loved ones to cancer. I pray for the day when a permanent cure will finally be found. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your story and I am so sorry for your losses.

[@enidkirk5750]

Hearing this, especially from someone so brilliant and inspirational, was incredibly moving. Although his story is heartbreaking, I am so glad he shared it because I know many people will be able to empathise and it can help us to feel that we are not alone. For everyone who has been influenced by the effects of cancer, I cannot bring others back to life however we can fight cancer for our loved ones and for every family out there who just wants a little more time with each other. Because happily ever after doesn't mean forever, it just means time.

[@havocgaming8614]

We will all miss your mother Mark,God bless her

[@Jesuslovesus599]

I'm so sorry Mark, I didn't know your lovely sister Jill had gone along with your wonderful Mum.. Jill was full of fun and your Mum was an amazing warm and gentle lady. Hugs Andrea (nee) Honneyman

[@tomlucas7630]

As someone who’s 95 yo nan was given 24 hours to live last Friday, who is still hanging on too life, being a full time carer too her with my mum, auntie and uncle, almost waiting for the inevitable. This story felt so relatable and heartbreaking.. makes you really appreciate your family more than ever.

[@sfoster.23]

Watching this after listening to TLoG commentaries where Mark constantly references his parents and sister is heartbreaking

[@gracepasa777]

I started crying too because I had an experience too my uncle also had cancer and died and I lost a piece of me since that day ❤️

[@anne_bckmnn]

I just wanted to give him a hug. I myself lost my grandmother earlier this year due to complications caused by cancer so this was very emotional to watch.

[@sarahrose1834]

Both my grandmothers have cancer and I lost 2 friends to cancer. I shaved my entire head and gave my hair and the money I raised to the little princess trust who made 3 wigs out of my 30 inches of hair. It’s now been a year and my hair is slowly growing back and I hate the way it looks but people go through this all the time so this is me doing my part.

[@katiexo3329]

This is absolutely heart breaking , stay strong everyone ❤️❤️

[@thunder_heads]

I want to give him a hug

[@xelexariax927]

your so brave Mark its Ok to cry all I want to do is hug you 🥺🥺🥺💕

[@Lackis]

I dont know if it helps at all Mark but I donated immediately after watching this. Thank you for sharing your experiences I can at least say in this small way it has made a difference 💙

[@stopukpovertyuk2392]

I'm sorry for your losses, Mark. Thank you for sharing your pain. ❤️

[@Jack-er1sc]

absolutely heartbreaking. mark's an angel, he doesn't deserve any of this.

[@artwork1994]

You mom is forever in your Heart Mark. She is in you ❣️

[@fxchsiia8354]

Bless his heart 😞 I hope poor Mark is alright 💔

[@vincentolympe98]

My...my granddad just passed maybe a month ago. I can only imagine how it hit you. You arent alone brother. Your history of horror documentaries have given me a small amount of light in this time. Thank you for sharing this too.

[@TheLizardmonkey]

What a gorgeous, good woman your sister appeared, Mark. Hugs and kisses if you’re reading this.

[@lucilovecraft1621]

I've lost my beloved partner to cancer, its gonna take half of us all if we don't find a cure. We can only hope for some major breakthrough. We can only hope we have it in us somewhere to defeat it, !

[@lucilovecraft1621]

@@simonburkeisable yes by breakthrough, I mean a breakthrough in research

[@littleripper312]

We all have to die of something. A large portion of the 1 in 2 are elderly. But it's not a good way to go and when it affects someone well before their time it's heartbreaking.

[@samcaddy8544]

Just shows no matter how successful the person, no amount of money makes these things less difficult to go through

God bless you, and your family sir.

[@KOGr104]

Wait that’s actually so sad this made me cry🥺

[@goobinthefridge1120]

I was crying!

[@sirpatrickspence6171]

Real tragedy💔

[@jetpigeon8758]

One of my closest friends died last year from Pancreatic cancer, this was 10 days before his 57th birthday, in his 20s he had testicular cancer, and this returned on a few occasions, later he had cancer in his kidneys. In all of his life, he had never done anyone any wrong. There cannot be a God, if there is he/she is not worth worshipping.

[@liaalbuquerque5051]

Eu trabalho numa UTI e vejo o sofrimento humano todos os dias e posso te dizer, Deus, se é que existe, não anda por lá!

[@tigermoth61]

I have lost quite a few loved ones to cancer. that's why I support Cancer research. My Father waited until I walked into our make shift sick room, I held his hand and he died in front of me.

[@eve2143]

Poor mark ;-; 😔😞💕✨

[@johnsigsworth6979]

Im sorry man

[@_fulstop]

I lost both of my amazing grandparents and one beautiful grandmother to this sickening disease. Please, if you have any money to spear, spear it. You may loose money but you’re paying for several lives to be saved.

[@menagers]

Devastating.

[@zlizgirl]

"She wont be here."

[@Sarahxxceexxxxxxxxx]

Aw xxxxxxxxx hope he ok 😢😂 he gets bullied in real life he's intelligent sorry for the breavment should get a bravery abrevement award xxxxxx

[@littleripper312]

What's so awful is this is just how life is. If you're lucky you get to be the one losing everyone instead of being the one who goes.

[@danielmoran9902]

My mother is utterly horrible.

[@lucyhurst2534]

Fascinating. But his wasn’t, so keep it to yourself.

[@danielmoran9902]

@@lucyhurst2534 You have no right to tell me what I should or shouldn't say in a public comment arena. You sound fairly nasty yourself.

[@danielmoran9902]

@2Blueses meaning?

[@danielmoran9902]

@2Blueses And you speak of empathy, yet you do not have empathy enough to ask why my relationship is so damaged. It was listening to the man speak that prompted me to comment. How easy it is to attack, and seemingly so much more difficult to communicate. Maybe you might look at yourself? I will be surprised if you do not need to insult me further....

[@danielmoran9902]

@2Blueses Why is sharing an experience so bad? Why did you not ask me to elaborate before resorting to insults?
