Mel From Married At First Sight Australia Opens Up About Heartbreaking Health News
Mel From Married At First Sight Australia Was Diagnosed With Colon Cancer:
Melanie Schilling, a long-time presence on Married At First Sight since 2019, shares a poignant revelation about her health journey. Despite planning a trip to Northern Ireland with her husband and daughter, unforeseen circumstances led her to face a critical diagnosis of colon cancer.
"'YOU HAVE CANCER'. 3 little words that everyone dreads but no one ever expects to hear."- Mel started in a caption that accompanied a sweet photo of herself with her partner and daughter.
"Last Thursday my consultant told me those 3 words."
Then, Mel went on to explain her symptoms, including several stomach cramps:
About a month ago when I was filming in Australia I developed severe stomach cramps on set, I put it down to all the travel I’d been doing and the upset it caused to my system. I saw my GP in Sydney and he put it down to constipation, gave me some laxatives and sent me on my way. Fortunately I knew something still wasn’t right so I booked in for a scan when I returned to the UK. On Thursday I was told I had colon cancer and in an instant my whole life changed.
