Isla's Road to Recovery

Isla's Road to Recovery Diagnosed with breast cancer 32 weeks pregnant. This is my story and a call for others to get checked

11/02/2026

.
Today I had my breast MRI. The weeks leading up to this scan have been filled with so many emotions but especially fear.

Scanxiety is so real, and it feels important to share this part of my journey too. I try to stay positive and put on a brave face, but the truth is, it’s not always easy. There are moments when the emotions and anxiety take over, especially when the “what ifs” creep in… what if today shows more cancer?

Being strong doesn’t mean not being scared and that is okay. ❤️

Tomorrow I will be having my second MRI for the week where they will look at my pelvis. This one will focus on how far my endometriosis has progressed.

Wish me luck!!!

Both of my boys spent time in the Special Care Nursery at Geelong Hospital, and it’s impossible to put into words just how vital this service is to our family and to the wider Geelong community. The care, dedication, and compassion shown there means more than we could ever express.

I wanted to share a small highlight of something close to our hearts, some of the beautiful items my mum proudly makes and donates to the hospital for babies who are premature or simply need a little extra care and comfort.

With so much gratitude, thank you from our family.

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to watch, comment and share my recent reel about my hair loss journey from breast cancer 💗

My hope has always been to support, encourage, and remind others to listen to their bodies and get checked, especially even during pregnancy. I feel honoured that this reel has had a real impact. Thank you oncd again to those who have shared their own journeys with me, I am truly grateful I’ve been able to help in any small way.

Merry Christmas everyone.Thanks again for all your support during my journey of recovery. It does not go unnoticed.I hop...

In May 2025 on my wedding anniversary I made a deal with my husband that I would run the 8km for the Mother's Day Classic next year in Geelong.

For many running 8kms can be easy but my body has been through a lot the last couple of years and this I will find quite challenging.

So here is the start of a new journey, I am so proud that I will not only be running and accomplishing this goal but once again will be volunteering at the Mother's Day Classic Geelong. 🏃

New Zealand

This trip wasn’t just our boys’ first overseas holiday, it was a journey I once thought I might never get to take. Two years ago, I wasn’t sure what my future would look like, let alone moments like this.

I feel incredibly lucky to still be here, standing in such a stunning part of the world. This holiday touched me deeply. It felt like I rediscovered a part of myself I thought I’d lost, the part that loves exploring new places and new cultures. And then there was the joy of watching my boys laugh, explore, and make memories together… moments so full of life and pure happiness.

What a truly special experience

During our travels in the South Island of New Zealand we came across "Bradona" just outside of the township Cardrona.

This simple but quirky fence has thousands of bras attached to it raising important awareness and funds to support
