We’re throwing our support behind 35-year-old Jessica, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for a Grade 3 ovarian cancer that is very rare and unpredictable—specifically, a mucinous adenocarcinoma with anaplastic nodules that caused a watermelon-sized tumour weighing over 13 kg.

Jessica has already undergone surgery to have the tumour removed and is now undergoing further chemotherapy treatment to ensure the cancer does not return.

However, she has been medically advised that if this cancer returns, she will enter palliative care, as there are no further treatment options for her.

She writes: “It has been physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Some days I feel strong and determined. Other days I feel scared, cold, and very aware of how fragile everything suddenly feels.

“What keeps me going is hope, and the belief that I still have more life to live. Because my cancer is so rare, options here in Australia are limited.

“After a lot of research, second opinions, and difficult conversations, I have found specialists in Germany who have experience treating cancers like mine.

“Being accepted for evaluation and treatment there feels like a door opening when so many have felt closed.

“This isn’t about chasing miracles. It’s about giving myself the best possible chance.

“The reality is that seeking treatment abroad comes with significant costs—medical fees, genetic tests, specialist oncologists, travel, and ongoing follow-up checks—many of which are not covered by insurance. As much as I wish I could travel this journey alone, I can’t.”
