Lynette Bolton, wife of Sydney Swans legend Jude Bolton, has shared a devastating update on her cancer battle, revealing she was forced to start chemotherapy just days before Christmas. The 44-year-old described her breast cancer as 'aggressive' and 'quick growing', but noted it responds well to treatment.
Speaking to Perth Now on Monday, Lynette explained that her cancer is not hormone driven. 'Mine is not hormone driven. Basically it's aggressive and it's quick growing,' she said. 'But what that means is it reacts well to chemo. So it's quite voracious, but it actually responds quite well to treatment.'
Lynette discovered a lump in her right breast in late November, and ten days later received the heartbreaking diagnosis. She began chemotherapy on 20 December, describing the treatment as 'horrendous' but trying to stay positive. She is now facing 12 to 24 weekly rounds of immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
In an Instagram post, Lynette shared a video of her treatment and wrote: 'Starting chemo six days before Christmas certainly wasn't on my 2025 bingo card.' She encouraged other women facing similar battles: 'You don't have to be brave all the time. You don't have to stay positive. You just have to get through today.'
Lynette, who hosts Channel Seven's Travel Oz show and works as a money coach, married Jude in 2010. The couple have two daughters.
