Coronation Street viewers were left in tears on Friday’s visit to the cobbles, when fan favourite Paul Foreman received a devastating piece of news amid his ongoing battle with Motor Neurone Disease. As regular viewers will know, Paul was diagnosed with the incurable degenerative disease earlier this year and has seen a rapid decline in his condition in recent weeks, which even lead to him no longer being able to walk and requiring a wheelchair to get around.
Despite this new change, Paul continued to make the most of his life, and in the episode attended an appointment with his speech therapist with high hopes of adapting to his changing needs. However, during the appointment, Paul revealed he had suffered two serious coughing fits in the day prior, prompting immediate concern from the speech therapist, who referred him immediately for further tests with his MND nurse.
Following these tests, Paul was later handed an SR1 form by his nurse to help speed up his recent claim for PIP and help him to buy the equipment he needed such as an adapted bed. However while his mum Bernie was delighted by the news, it served as a crushing blow to Paul, when he realised it was a form that indicated he wasn’t expected to live for longer than six months and could have his claim fast-tracked.
Devastated by the new development, Paul, Bernie and Paul’s husband Billy struggled to come to terms with the minimal time Paul still had left - and fans at home didn’t fare much better either. “It breaks you to see the MND story moving so fast, but it gives you an idea of how this disease gives limited time,” wrote one fan, before continuing: “From diagnosis to the heartbreak goes so fast.
