Update from The Advocacy Partnership
3 November 2026
We wanted to share an update on Nixie. It has been a tough couple of weeks for her, and she has had a number of things to deal with. She recently had an admission to hospital because her white blood cell count dropped to very low levels, and so her medical team needed to get on top of that. A couple of days into her treatment, her hair began to fall out. While she knew this was part of the journey and is showing a brave face, the reality of it has become very real and has been an extremely personal and emotional time that she's doing her best to come to terms with but it is extremely hard.
Nixie is thankful for all the support she has around her. She wants to make a special thank you to her partner Christian, who has been with her every step of the way. Nixie shares, "Words cannot describe how grateful I am to him for being there for me." She deeply acknowledges that the people closest to her are going through the same emotional rollercoaster as well. Nixie shares, "I know it's incredibly hard on them too, and often while they're busy focusing entirely on me, I know that they required just as much support." She wants to recognise their selflessness, and their support for her is greatly appreciated, more than words can possibly say.
Thank you all for continuing to support Nixie. We will keep you updated as she progresses through her treatment.
