Dad's Fiji Wedding Dream Shattered by Cancer Battle
28 Nov
Summary
- Aussie dad's dream wedding in Fiji was canceled due to a bowel obstruction.
- The couple incurred a $107,000 emergency flight bill after insurance failed.
- Doctors now say there's no more treatment available in Australia.

Matt Graham, a 44-year-old Australian father, had his dream wedding in Fiji abruptly canceled due to a sudden bowel obstruction. Just days before the ceremony, the situation escalated, forcing him and his partner, Bree, to return home immediately. The couple, who had a prior legal wedding in Australia after Matt's stage four colorectal cancer diagnosis, were left with a staggering $107,000 bill for an emergency medical flight after their travel insurance provider refused to assist.
This emergency evacuation has completely drained their life savings. Matt, who was initially responding well to a clinical trial that was shrinking his tumors, experienced a rapid decline. His condition worsened significantly in Fiji, prompting an urgent return. Back home, the medical reality is stark: doctors have informed the couple that there are no further treatment options available for his cancer, which has now spread to his liver, brain, and bones.
