THE heartbroken fiance of the late Wellness Warrior Jessica Ainscough has revealed the blogger turned to radiation treatment in her final weeks as a last attempt to save her life.
In a tribute to the "love of his life", Tallon Pamenter wrote a letter to Ms Ainscough's followers, describing how she was "giggling and drinking green smoothies" in her hospital bed until the day of her death.
The 30-year old died on February 26 after a long battle with a rare form of cancer known as Epithelioid sarcoma.

She refused conventional treatment such as chemotherapy, instead opting to use a controversial form of treatment known as Gerson Therapy, where patients turn to vegetarianism, drink organic juice and undergo coffee eneams.
The 'alternative dietary therapy' is based on German physician Max Gerson's 1928 theory and is believed the treatment cleanses the body, boosts the immune system and rids it of unnecessary toxins, but the American Cancer Society has deemed it "ineffective and dangerous".
Mr Pamenter told the Daily Mail that Ms Ainscough's decision to turn to tougher treatment six weeks before her death was "a risky and tough decision but Jess bravely embraced this last chance option".
He said she turned to the treatment after the tumour in her left shoulder became so painful it was preventing her from living a comfortable daily routine.
"In true wellness warrior style, we integrated our natural healing regime with the recommended radiation.
"Finally the walls were broken down between conventional and unconventional medicine — I don't know why as a society we must choose one or the other.
"This was something Jess was looking forward with sharing (with her followers). It was an exciting evolution from her earlier days of feeling that she had to be part of one extreme world or the other."
He confirmed the treatment shrunk Ms Ainscough's tumour but "some complications arose during the final stages of treatment".
"Not long after, the words I LOVE YOU would leave my lips only to fall softly upon Jess's ears for the last time.
"I said goodbye to the love of my life that day and my heart has been in a million pieces since."
Ms Ainscough was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 when she was 22 and initially took a course of chemotherapy, but the cancer returned. She refused doctor's advice to amputate her left arm
In 2012 her mother was diagnosed with cancer and turned to her daughter's therapy soon after. She died in 2013.
