The wife of AFL star Jeremy Finlayson has provided a devastating update on her battle with terminal cancer.
Kellie Finlayson — who was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2021 — revealed on Tuesday that the cancer was growing and she may need to undergo another round of chemotherapy.
The 28-year-old documented her visit to the oncologist after new scans showed the disease was no longer stable.

“So, um not great news, but not the worst news either, I guess,” Mrs Finlayson said in a TikTok video.
“Unfortunately, with cancer, especially relapsed cancer, it grows really fast.
“So once we see not even quite a millimetre of growth in a scan over a couple of months, we know that that means it’s growing and that means we have to act on it.”
The mother-of-one revealed her doctor said she would need to act immediately to help manage the cancer growth.
“So normally, I walk out of a meeting with my oncologist and he tells me that we’re happy to watch and wait. Not the case today,” she said.
“I’m off to see a surgeon next week and a radiotherapist also, just to get all of my options before potentially starting chemotherapy again.
“I guess I’m one of the lucky ones because we know that chemotherapy works really well for me… but any chemotherapy is f**cked and not what I want to be doing.”
Despite chemotherapy helping to stop the spread, Mrs Finlayson confirmed that “a full cure is unlikely” due to the cancer being stage four.
The mum has been open about her fight with the horrible disease and its side effects.
In March last year, Mrs Finlayson shared she was struggling with the reality that she may not be able to have another child.
“I’ve gone into early menopause. Whether I can come back from that, I don’t know,” she said in March last year.
“That was honestly my biggest struggle, knowing that I may not give Sophia any siblings, which is so hard. We had always planned to have a big family.
“It’s just something that I always wanted. It was the hardest pill to swallow out of all the pills I’ve swallowed in the last 18 months.”
