Ms Wieland said the money would be used to fund overseas trips to find alternative treatments and claimed a single treatment session could cost as much as $40,000. "My partner and I have chosen to reach out to ask our family, friends and the international community for help with Lucy's battle against her stage IV Ovarian Cancer," the GoFundMe page said. "The beginning of this year we were hit with a horrible hand of cards when Lucy was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer at the age of 26.

"Over the next few months, Lucy's condition deteriorated extremely quickly, realizing that the previous existence of cancer had caused massive amounts of damage to her organs resulting in major emergency surgery. "This has resulted in the inability to ever have children of her own as well as having to close the doors permanently of her newly achieved dream. "Lucy has just started her 2nd cycle of Chemotherapy sessions; Which brings her to treatment 8. "Over the last 6 months, Lucy has had Ultrasounds, Scans, blood tests, Specialists appointments and more. Her cancer has now progressed to stage IV Ovarian Cancer (sic) giving us the harsh reality that she is Terminally Ill. "Due to the aggressive nature of Ovarian cancer it has now metastasized and spread to her kidneys, liver, pancreas, bowel and stomach lining. This has also added ongoing health issues and potential chronic illnesses as well as decreasing Lucy's prognosis to a 12-month life expectancy.

"Up until this point we have financed Lucy's treatments on our own. This has exhausted all of our savings as well as options for personal loans. "We are urgently looking to move away from generic western medicine and need to try alternative treatments in the hope of prolonging Lucy's life; at the very least provide a more comfortable situation for the remaining time we have together."

"It’s always very concerning when people use the emotions of others to try and obtain money for themselves - it’s disheartening," he said.
