In early 2023, life seemed full and bustling for Krystal Maeyke, a vibrant 39-year-old mother living in Australia. Her days were a whirlwind of routines, juggling motherhood with her young son, Maison, alongside her work commitments and the countless small responsibilities that fill everyday life. She was constantly on the move, often running on adrenaline and sheer willpower. Exhausted as she was — and yes, truly exhausted — Krystal pushed through, because what mother hasn’t? She believed she could handle it all. But then, a subtle unease began to creep in: a mild ache in her stomach, an uncharacteristic fatigue, an energy that drained faster than usual. At first, she dismissed it, chalking it up to stress, the occasional food intolerance, or simply the demands of life. Little did she know, these tiny, almost invisible warning signs were the first whispers of a battle she would ultimately lose.
