Content warning: contains graphic description of pregnancy loss.
Diagnosed with bowel cancer in April 2017 at just 27, Skye spent 12 months travelling to and from Melbourne, having surgeries and chemo, taking it all in her stride while she planned her wedding to husband Grant Hursey.
Having her last surgery mid 2018, Skye received the all clear just in time for her October wedding.
Following a year of good health Skye felt that something was ‘different’ in early January, 2020 and nerves set in. Thinking she may either be pregnant or that her cancer had returned, she took a pregnancy test hoping she wasn’t looking ahead to another year of treatments and surgeries.
