"My light is starting to fade - and quickly."
 
Married at First Sight dating coach Mel Schilling says she does not know how long she has left to live after revealing her cancer has spread to her brain.
 
Schilling, 54, who has been a part of the cast of the reality TV show since 2016, revealed she was diagnosed with colon cancer in December 2023. 
 
However, she wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday that the cancer had later spread to her lungs and now the left side of her brain.
 
"Despite subsequent radiotherapy sessions, my oncology team have now told me there is nothing further they can do," she wrote.
 
She urged people to get checked out if "something doesn't feel right".
