Please help Nick battle advanced bowel cancer.
Please help my amazing partner Nick, battle bowel cancer.
Meremere, Waikato
Nick is always the first person to offer help to others. We are now asking for your help, please. Nick was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer on the 7th of June and we need your help to give Nick the treatment he needs.
Nick loves life. He has a great sense of humour, a ready laugh and a quick wit. He has always been a hard working truck driver and now has to work extra hard to battle this cancer. He has a passion for motorbikes, reading and enjoying the quiet life at home when not working.
Thank you for your time and support if possible, it is greatly appreciated, Linda and Nick

Thank you from Nick 27 June 2025
Hi All. Run down of what's been happening a year after being diagnosed with Bowel cancer. First 8 months of chemo finished with a break in mid February. During the first couple of months, Linda and I took a bike round the south island. Had a ball catching up with family and friends down there. The trip was great with top weather and riding.
The Last two months have been spent trying to get fit and healthy before returning to treatment. This has involved a lot of great bush walks and some weight training.
Chemo started again last Tuesday (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and cetuximab). am hopeful for another good result from this. Oxaliplatin was the hard one last time but did the trick. Cetuximab is the new targeted immunotherapy. This comes with more side affects but hope its not too bad.
Thanks every one for your support. I'm lucky to be in the long game with this at Waikato DHB, from Nick
