cuanto as used in cuanto lo siento what does it say?
Can someone translate cuanto lo siento and tell me if it is different than lo siento mucho?

According to the dictionary, it means "how very sorry I am". It sounds deeper than I'm sorry.
Cuánto lo siento.
Cuanto lo siento and lo siento mucho basically mean the same thing. Cuanto lo siento translates literally to "how very sorry I am" and lo siento mucho translate literally to "I am very sorry" (I speak spanish and english fluently)
Think of the drinking song in English which has as its title (or, perhaps, featuring prominently in the chorus) "How sad I am ..."
I just learned it is as follows: Lo siento mucho means = I am very sorry Cuanto lo siento = I am so sorry
