Bland who is newsreader for BBC North West Tonight in England, announced the news on Twitter today
"In the words of the legendary Frank S - I'm afraid the time has come my friends. And suddenly. I'm told I've only got days [...] Au revoir my friends," she wrote.
In May, after several rounds of treatment, Bland was told her cancer had become terminal. Two months later, the cancer had spread.
The 40-year-old, who has a two-year-old son with her husband Steve, wrote in the Sunday Telegraph last month that she was "in a race against time", saying: "I'm not scared of dying. I only fear for those I leave behind."
"For my darling Freddie, who'll be three next month, for Steve and our families. Even now, knowing the 'no options left' conversation is coming, I can't crumble and fall to pieces".
"I still want to take joy from the moments when he turns to me, as he has begun to the last few weeks, and says: 'Oh, I missed you Mummy. I love you so much.'"
Bland also discusses her experience with cancer as a co-presenter on the BBC Radio 5 live podcast, You, Me and the Big C.
