    I am sorry to inform you all that Nikki sadly passed away suddenly, on the morning of the 1st May 2023. She was surrounded by love. I know that she was extremely happy and appreciative of everyone's donation and kindness. We will continue to raise money, but for Nikki's husband and two beautiful children.

    Recent message from Nikki.....not a great week. My daily routine. Wake up then start coughing to remove phlegm excreted from my (coughing make me vomit). Scott then wraps PICC line with glad wrap to prevent it getting wet. Wash my body, feeling exhausted standing so I use a shower chair so I can relax. Out of the shower and Scott helps to dress me. Use my walker down the hall. The biggest physical challenge is getting up the stairs.

    When upstairs I have a nebuliser 2-3 times a day. I also have massages. My ankles and legs are swollen with fluid.

    Sit on the couch but can't get off because it is too low. My days are spent in front of the box.

    I have Hospice tomorrow to look around and see how they can help me. There also food made by my family but I have very little appetite. Soon I won't be able to do anything and ent up in hospice.

    It is a very scary future. My next immunotherapy is Thursday 4th May.

    Hi all, last night I visited Nikki in hospital i was met with a beautiful teary smile. She is feeling alittle low at the moment where she is what we call, ln the limbo part of treatment. She stopped chemo altogether as it wasn't doing its job has!! She has since received 2 sessions of immunotherapy so far and has her 3rd tomorrow. Unfortunately at this stage we have no idea if it is working or taking effect, time will tell. Nikki came home today after being admitted for struggling to breathe caused by extra fluid, pushing on her diaphragm causing a collapsed lung. After a drainage and a bloody transfusion they were happy to let her home. She is extremely weak and simply fed up. I ask that you please continue to share her page, reach out to those you feel would help. Every little helps we need to keep this treatment going in the hopes that it helps and builds up our beautiful friend to who she was once before. She feels the love and support around her and sends a HUGE thank you to those who have already donated xxx

    From Nikki 💜

    After my not so positive post I will follow on with what cancer has taught me..

    I have so much support from friends and family. This fills my heart more than anyone could know. I have received a beautiful hand made quilted blanket from a family member that I will always treasure, beautiful flowers, gift boxes full of gorgeous things, candles to help me relax, crystals, natural products for healing, books, meals and more. It makes me feel so loved and special.

    I married a great man who hasn’t once complained about everything he has had to do to look after the family.

    I am now fuelling my body with the correct fuel. Fruit, veges and raw food are now my staples (I wish it didn’t take cancer for me to do it).

    Our medical staff are absolutely amazing and it takes a special kid of person to do their jobs. I have been well looked after in both the public and private hospitals.

    My children give the best cuddles and even more now that mummy isn’t feeling great. Evelyn told me yesterday that every time she blows a fairy (dandelion) she wishes that mummy was well again. Bless her.

    I am content with the basics in life, there is no material item I want anymore unless it has an important purpose to heal me (I have a lot to throw or give away when I am up to sorting it).

    I have plans for the future and want to do all the things I have been procrastinating. Now I need to work on moving more to be able to physically do these.

    I am privileged to be able to do the medical treatments on offer to me.

    Every time I see a donation to my Give a Little page it makes me feel so special and loved. It isn’t about the $’s, it’s about that person showing they are thinking of me and my family. It is an unreal feeling and I am so grateful and thankful to everyone.

    Seeing these 2 beauties with big smiles and enjoying life. Nothing makes me happier.

  • The daily struggle.

      5 March 2023

    A current message from Nikki 😔

    A bit of a depressing post as I get frustrated today trying to do a task that was simple pre cancer.

    Don't read if you want to stay positive today. I will make a list of positives in my life to balance this out 🤗

    What cancer has done to me...

    I am tired all the time.

    I have no energy. I can’t walk 20 metres without being exhausted.

    Standing for long periods makes me very tired. Even for 5 minutes.

    I have given up 2 part time jobs that I absolutely loved.

    I am no longer a Kea Scout leader.

    I don’t feel like myself in my own body.

    I have lost my hair and my identity .

    I have been nauseous or vomited daily.

    My stomach hurts, is uncomfortable and bloated and it never ends.

    I have horrible thoughts about the future and a future for my family without me.

    I have anxiety around getting the IV line put in my hand/arm every treatment.

    I have lost all interest in intimacy with my husband.

    I have no patience and tolerance with the children and loud noises really irritate me.

    I no longer enjoy food or want to eat.

    Every day I wish I felt “normal” again.

    I get depressed because I see all the things that need doing around the home but I have no energy to do it. Then I get upset that the house is dirty/messy.

    I can’t volunteer for events at the kids school.

    I feel guilty that Scott is doing so much to look after the 3 of us and the house. I worry for his wellbeing.

    Everything I thought about the future is all up in the air. You always assume you will see your children graduate, teach them to drive, meet their first boyfriend/girlfriend, be at their wedding, meet your grandchildren.

    I feel bad for the kids that their mum is now this shell of herself and can’t be the mum they are used to.
