A young woman travelling the world in search of a cure for her cancer has died alone in Mexico without her husband and son by her side.
Jessica Gall, 26, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014, and was later given the all-clear after having surgery. Sadly, the Gold Coast mother's cancer returned, spreading to her liver and lungs.
After conventional treatments including radiation therapy and chemotherapy didn't work, the brave mum decided to seek help overseas. Her international mission to find a cure took her first to China, and later to Germany.
As the condition worsened, Jessica received stents to help her kidneys work more effectively, underwent an operation to have a damaged section of bowel removed, and battled constant infections.
Her last attempt to beat the cancer was a radical treatment called ablation immunotherapy, which she received in Mexico, where she tragically lost her battle with the illness.
