No.

I can't/cannot tell you how much I appreciate your concern.

Or: I can't express/ put into words how....


Or: ... how much your concern is appreciated.

Can I correct it like this:

I cannot tell how grateful I am for your concern.

Without you the sentence suggests that you cannot judge how grateful you are.
