Finlayson was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 25.

Mother-of-one Finlayson previously discussed her diagnosis on Ant Middleton’s Nova podcast Head Game, speaking about her chemotherapy treatment and just how hard it was.

“I lost a s–t ton of weight. I mean, I had a stoma, so I had a foreign object on my stomach. I wasn’t the normal mum that she should have had, but I was as good as I possibly could be. It was hard,” she said about her daughter.

“I was allergic to one of the strands of that chemotherapy, which is why, when I did relapse, I had to change chemotherapy, which meant I lost my hair.

“I was on my deathbed. I was getting anaphylactic reactions every three weeks to this chemotherapy. So I was essentially dying every three weeks, just to get better.”
