The terminally ill wife of AFL star Jeremy Finlayson has provided an update on her battle just weeks after she revealed the cancer was growing.
Kellie Finlayson shared on Tuesday that she has restarted treatment to help slow the spread of her stage four bowel cancer.
“I started chemo again today… But I also have work tonight, so this is me,” she captioned a selfie.

“Invisible illness/disability for real.”
The 28-year-old recently documented her visit to the oncologist after new scans showed the cancer was no longer stable.
The mother-of-one’s doctor said she would need to act immediately to help manage the cancer growth.
“I guess I’m one of the lucky ones because we know that chemotherapy works really well for me… but any chemotherapy is f****ed and not what I want to be doing.”
The mum has been open about her fight and the impacts the horrible disease has had on her family life.
She recently reflected on her daughter turning three, saying time has gone by so fast.
“Guys, Sophia is three in two weeks?!” She said on her Instagram story.
“Firstly, what the hell, where did that time go?! Secondly, how the hell am I celebrating her THIRD year of life, and why the hell do I always have to be on treatment in the lead-up … UGH.
“Time is a thief, cancer is a thief.”
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.
“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.”
