Mel Schilling (pictured) has shared an update on her battle with cancer. The Married At First Sight relationship expert says she is going through chemotherapy and it has become difficult to cope with the side effects.
“I feel like I’m hungover or pregnant every day, which is not fun.”
Mel says she was undergoing treatment while moving to the UK with her husband Gareth.
‘I don’t do things halfway. It’s been a tough time because I’ve been adjusting to going through that and moving house,” she said.
Mel, who has now become an ambassador for colorectal charity Octopus, recently spoke to the UK’s Magic FM and revealed she is starting to feel unwell.
“Things are getting tough now,” the 52-year-old admitted to The Mirror. ‘I’m halfway there and it’s getting difficult. Feeling fatigued and nauseous is a bigger part of my daily life.
“To be totally honest, I’m feeling a little down today,” she said.
Mel added that she is now on her third cycle of chemotherapy.
“I feel like I’m hungover, like I’ve been drinking all night.”
Despite this, the media personality expressed his determination to continue working and has no intention of slowing down.
‘Now I’m trying to find a way to combine everything, because I don’t stop working. “This is not defeating me, I’m here to fight, I just need to make some adaptations,” he continued.
It comes after Mel told of the agony she was left in before her cancer diagnosis.

speaking to New! magazine, Recalling the intense pain she felt while at work, Mel said: “I was doubled over and screaming – the pain was so intense.”
Her doctors originally thought her symptoms were simply constipation, but she soon became concerned after losing her appetite.
On a trip to Ireland with her husband Gareth, Mel said she was in “a lot of pain” and had trouble keeping food or water down.
Knowing something was still wrong, he went to see a gastroenterologist after returning to London, who was “concerned” about his unexplained weight loss.
Mel had a CT scan and returned a few days later for the results, remembering the heartbreaking moment she was told she had cancer.
She said: “We were sitting in his office and the doctor had a blank stare and I thought, ‘This doesn’t seem right,’ and he said, ‘It’s cancer.’ I think I was numb, I didn’t process it and I went into work mode, That’s all I could focus on.’
The reality TV host revealed her shocking health battle in December and underwent colon surgery just before the end of the year.
He explained that his tumor, which he named ‘Terry’, was removed by doctors in the United Kingdom.
However, as the cancer spread through the colon and into the muscle, Mel discovered she needed chemotherapy and began treatment in late February.
