Emily Nicholson, 24, moved from York to Australia in 2012 with her family and had a successful career as a bar manager and club promoter before she was diagnosed with astrocytoma brain cancer in February 2016.
Nicholson told Caters she and boyfriend Jamie Smith decided to marry when she had only about a year to live.
But a week before the big day, and on the morning of Smith's stag do, Nicholson says he called it off via Facebook messenger.
In a screenshot of the Facebook message, Nicholson writes "I've always loved you and always will. DO you want to just call it a day then?" to which Smith replies "I wanted to call it a day a long time ago Em".
Nicholson says she believes it's due to the weight she put on; going from a size 6 to size 16 because of the steroid treatment.
Nicholson told The Sun: "Jamie said he didn't want to be with me and he hadn't loved me for a long time.
"For months he'd been going out with his friends but obviously I couldn't do that because I was ill.
"It just came out of the blue, it was horrendous. Now I don't feel anything about him, he hurt me but there's no point getting upset."
Nicholson is now trying to raise money for pioneering immunotherapy treatment, starting a GoFundMe page to raise £30,000 (NZD$57,000).
