In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Married at First Sight star Mel Schilling opened up about the challenges of undergoing chemotherapy. Diagnosed with colon cancer last year, she has been battling the disease and sharing her journey with fans. Mel described the side effects of chemotherapy as feeling fatigued and nauseous, likening her daily life to feeling hungover or pregnant. Despite these difficulties, Mel has remained positive and continues to work hard to maintain her mental health.
Mel recently moved from Australia to the UK with her family, coinciding with the start of her chemotherapy treatment. Adjusting to a new home and treatment has been challenging, but Mel credits her husband Gareth for handling most of the move. Mel shared that she has been working throughout her treatment, adjusting her schedule to prioritize work during times when she has more energy. She emphasized the importance of work for her mental health, explaining that it gives her energy and purpose.
Despite everything going on in her life, Mel is determined to continue pursuing her career and remain positive. Viewers can catch Married at First Sight on E4 in the UK and Nine Network in Australia where they can see more of what’s happening in Mel’s life as she continues to battle cancer.
