MAFS Australia star Mel Schilling has opened up about how important the support of her husband Gareth and daughter Madison has been, as she recovers following her shock colon cancer diagnosis last Christmas
Mel Schilling has heaped praise on her supportive husband Gareth as she continues to recover from her recent cancer ordeal.
Mel, 52, had a tumour removed three months ago and told the Belfast Telegraph: "I’m feeling great, but my energy isn’t back yet. I’m changing the way I work in terms of building downtime into my schedule - that’s a real priority for me now." Recalling the heart-stopping moment she received her diagnosis, she said: "My hubby Gareth was with me, and we had very different reactions. I went into shock, pulled out my phone and started looking at my work schedule, saying, 'But I’ve got to be on set!' It was completely irrational.
"I’m an optimist and in many ways that’s what’s got me through. Some might call it denial, but I haven’t allowed my brain to go to those dark places. The big wake-up call for me has been to listen to my body."
