Jeremy Finlayson Wife Shares Heartbreaking Update on Cancer Journey

Jeremy Finlayson Wife's Struggle with Cancer

AFL WAG Kellie Finlayson has shared a heartbreaking post amid her stage four cancer battle. The wife of Port Adelaide star Jeremy Finlayson posted a teary picture of herself to Instagram on Tuesday, detailing the struggles of living with a terminal illness. “For those wondering if I ever cry... yes I do. Not often and usually due to the collateral that comes with a terminal diagnosis. But yes, I am human, some days do get the best of me and I’m a prisoner to my own thoughts,” Mrs. Finlayson said.

The Reality of Life with a Terminal Illness

The 28-year-old revealed that she only shares about five percent of her life on social media and mentioned that there’s more happening behind the scenes that many don’t know about. “I take ten steps forward one day and 12 steps back the next. I am positive and grateful to be alive, but some days remind me that this is so far from the life I’d created in my mind as a teenager. Sh*t sucks sometimes. And it feels isolating, I too feel alone, but I know I’m not.”

Facing the Battle Together

• Mrs. Finlayson was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021.
• She revealed in July that the disease was growing again.
• Doctors told her she would need to commence chemotherapy immediately to slow the spread.
• She started treatment a month later.

The power couple, who share a three-year-old daughter, have been forced to sell their forever home in Adelaide’s northwest to move to a more suitable location for her ongoing treatment. They announced in late August that they would need to find a rental with more space to accommodate her in-home care.
