AFL star Jeremy Finlayson’s terminally ill wife Kellie shares heartbreaking update on her cancer battle – as she prepares to make big decision

Kellie Finlayson, the wife of AFL star Jeremy Finlayson, shared a heartbreaking update on her battle with cancer.

The 28-year-old social media influencer visited her oncologist on Tuesday and was told that her cancer is growing again.

Kellie has battled bowel and lung cancer since being diagnosed in November 2021, following the birth of their child Sophia.

She underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy after receiving news that her original diagnosis of stage 3 had been changed to stage 4.

In January of this year, Kellie began another six months of chemotherapy, but her husband indicated that his wife had stopped the chemotherapy and radiation treatments and had now placed her trust in alternative medicine.

On Tuesday, Finlayson confirmed she will most likely have to undergo another round of chemotherapy after her surgeon told her they needed to act quickly.

“Cancer, especially recurrent cancer, unfortunately grows very quickly. If we don’t see a millimeter of growth on a scan after a few months, we know it’s growing and we need to take action,” she said in a video posted to TikTok.

“Normally I walk out of a meeting with my oncologist and he tells me we’d like to wait and see. That’s not the case today. I’m going to see a surgeon next week and also a radiation oncologist to hear all my options before I potentially start chemotherapy again.

“I think I’m one of the lucky ones because we know chemotherapy works really well for me, but chemotherapy is f*cking bad anyway and not what I want to do.”

Kellie admitted she was nervous about the prognosis before her appointment with the oncologist.

“My scans were good, not stable anymore, but okay given the circumstances. I’m trying to figure out what the next steps are. I haven’t shared anything about this in a long time, but I feel like I’m going to share more again because I know how helpful it can be for those going through their own journey, as much as I hate that word,” she said.

The video continued to show Kellie sitting in the doctor’s waiting room before walking out and yelling at the camera, “F**k my life.”

Kellie has previously said that both chemotherapy and alternative therapies have helped slow the spread of her cancer, which cost her “100 percent” of her first year as a mother to Sophia.

“I went into early menopause. Whether I’ll ever come back from that, I don’t know,” she said in March of last year.

“That was honestly my biggest struggle, knowing that I might not have any siblings for Sophia, which is so hard. We always planned on having a big family.

“It’s just something I’ve always wanted. It was the hardest pill to swallow of all the pills I’ve taken in the last 18 months.”

Port Adelaide star Finlayson said the turmoil of recent years had taken its toll and affected his football career.

“I tried to keep a brave face despite everything,” he said.

“When I see how strong Kellie is, and how she tries to be her rock and how she manages to put a smile on her face on the football field for her and Soph.”

Kellie has remained a beacon of positivity throughout her treatment.

She is determined to enjoy life as much as possible and hopes to see as many milestones as possible from her daughter Sophia.

‘As long as [the cancer] “If I’m being maintained, I feel like I have the potential to have a very long life. I can see Sophia’s 21st birthday!” she told News Corp.

“I hope to see her first day of school. That’s years away, but it’s taking longer than I expected when I first heard the diagnosis.”
