The 25-year-old, who is making headlines this week for revealing she’s pregnant with Farmer Will Dwyer’s child, bravely battled cancer back in 2014.

Hayley revealed she was treated at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Melbourne.
Hayley said in her caption to her friends and family that she had started a blog post about her cancer journey.
‘I find it to be extremely helpful for myself to write things down and to anyone who is suffering any sort of cancer realise they aren’t alone in this, and hopefully motivate them as well,’ Hayley said at the time.
