The heartbroken husband of a real-life Disney princess has revealed how cancer killed his wife just days after she gave birth to their first child.
Brooke Marsay, 31, died in Brisbane on Tuesday, 65 days after doctors discovered she had stage four bowel cancer. It had already spread through her body, including her liver and stomach.
At the time, the kindergarten teacher at Kawana Waters State College on Queensland s Sunshine Coast was 16 weeks pregnant with the couple s first child.
But a seemingly harmless but nagging pain in her ribs led to the tragic diagnosis.
