The Welsh football club&#8217;s co-owner intervened to help the couple, which has since been documented on a recent episode of &#8220;Welcome to Wrexham.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The latest episode of the docuseries that charts the club&#8217;s progress under Reynolds and Rob McElhennery&#8217;s ownership highlighted the period in which Forde&#8217;s wife was diagnosed with the tumour.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old took a two-month break from the team to deal with the issue, which arose just weeks after his son, Paddy, was born.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could I go out and perform when I have something so serious in the back of my head?&#8221; he said earlier in the docuseries after hearing the news. &#8220;It would have been unfair on myself and the team. The support we have had from the club has been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5058209.jpg?r=1699555004675\"><\/p>\n<p>Forde went on to claim in a recent episode that the news had filtered down to Reynolds. The co-owner was quick to lend a helping hand and paid for Laura to get a second opinion on the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It just didn&#8217;t feel like it was real,&#8221; he said on episode 14 of the show. &#8220;The gaffer told the owners about the news and they reached out. Ryan helped get a second opinion. It&#8217;s something that he doesn&#8217;t have to do, he doesn&#8217;t have to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the second opinion it was revealed that the location of the tumour made it inoperable, news which the couple claimed was the &#8220;best-case scenario.&#8221; In a recent Instagram post, Laura revealed that there had been no growth in the tumour.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5058210.jpg?r=1699555004731\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney issue brutal two-word reaction to Wrexham rival[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Notts County respond to rumours Taylor Swift wants to buy them and copy Wrexham[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo was mocked at Man Utd training ground before his exit[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Forde&#8217;s return to the team came in a home game last season at the Racecourse Ground against Yeovil Town.
