And this is why I believe NNL is committing some level of fraud. There are people truly struggling with cancer that don't get 1% of the help she has had. She fakes alot of what she says to get more money and free things. She swans around thinking she owns everywhere she goes.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. X
My sister passed away in the early hours on Friday morning šŸ˜­

No she's definitely making out for it to be far worse than it is at the minute. It's infuriates me because someone with her supposedly level of cancer just wouldn't be able to do all those things she does and still does and get the insurance to go on all these fancy holidays xx

I feel so sorry for her parents and her husband. I'm from Poland and in 2010 (way before cancer influencers) we had our own "celebrity", her name was Magda Prokopowicz, she was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, she was beautiful, she was married to a movie director and rich and she rose so much awareness around breast cancer. Her story grabbed people's hearts also because she got pregnant while having cancer and she said no to having an abortion and gave birth to a healthy child. When she was alive she started cancer charity, to this day it's the biggest cancer charity in Poland. Her campaining for it was so clever, women after mastectomies were photograped with sings that said "we raise money for drugs, wigs and new tits", it was smart because drugs in Poland are associated more with narcotics than with medicaments. Her charity's name also has a nice twist on words because its called "Rak'n'roll" - rak in Polish means cancer and when you read it, it basically sounds like rock'n'roll. You may wonder why I am mentioning this women, after her death her husband gave a couple of interviews. He was a part of documentary about her so people knew him. He was obviously heartbroken and it was clear that, sadly, he had some regrets towards his dead wife. Why? Before her death she gave TV intreview, she had bone mets and was laughing that everything is great, she was just skiing and broke her leg because of her mets, but she feels great, everything will be ok because she's strong and she lives with stage IV for sever years already. She was in full blown denial. Her husband was asked if she said goodbye and he answered that no, she didn't and he couldn't even talk about dying with her because up until the very last breath she was holding her smartphone and making plans on it, planing holidays, events, it's like she didn't face what was happening up until the end. When I witness Nicky's behavior, I can't help but think about Magda because the similarities are striking. It's all very sad.

Thanks all. The ā€œI choose not to let cancer symptoms rule my lifeā€ thing is so toxic.

Babe, good for you if you can, but itā€™s not a damn choice. A lot of stage four simply donā€™t have the choice.

Itā€™s not that they are choosing to not sprinkle glitter on their weetabix, they literally have no glitter šŸ˜”

Donā€™t hate on me. Iā€™ve been here a while but I just feel for her so much. No one really knows what she is going through. I had a life altering injury in January 22 and I often post fun stuff on FB to hide my true feelings. I donā€™t want constant sympathy, or check up etc. I want to be treated as me, the same JoJo. Iā€™m not dying so thatā€™s different but sometimes you want to update people without the shit.

Not moderating what people say. We are all allowed own own thoughts and opinions. Meant with love x

I feel sort of ironically amused by the fact that influencers like NNL are seen by their followers as wonderful kind, inspiring and colourful characters whereas Tattlers are uniformly seen as trolls and total bitches who haven't got a heart. My experience on this particular thread tells me that actually it's mostly the other way round. There's so much indignation and frustration on here, quite understandably. But also a wealth of knowledge, experience, health issues and the ability to actually question what goes on with these insta nutters. In short, lots of support on here for each other. The likes of NNL will never truly have that.

Sleep well Nicky, we may not have agreed with your methods, but you lived life the way you wanted and on your terms as much as possible. Another incredibly sombre reality check of the fragility of life. Far too young, so much left to give. All the love to Alex, I can't begin to imagine how he's feeling right now. Whatever we may have felt, noone can deny that man loves Nic to the ends of the earth and back again.

Fuck cancer. Fuck it, fuck it again and fuck it some more.

Going to semi-gracefully bow out of this thread now, folks. Itā€™s been nice to ā€œknowā€ you all and hear your differing perspectives, reality checks, and mutual support. Going to miss Ginny Wā€™s kindhearted words, the ever sassy wake up calls from Betty Crockerr (whose username I would love to hear the origin of! šŸ˜‚), and the many others whose names have slipped my forgetful mind, but whose words always drew me in and gave me food for thought.

Night, folks.

Just watched Motleylu calling out Nicky and her spiteful sheep. Good for her. Nicky should have addressed the comments, particularly Anny's. Imagine being blocked as a stage 4 cancer sufferer by someone who claims to be all love and light, positive vibes and support on the journey.
Well NN shit all over that hasn't she?
Dunno how she lives with herself. Guess it's easy when you're a sociopath.

Fuck cancer. NNL death has been the one to shock me beyond all others. Not because I didnā€™t think sheā€™d die. I knew she would. But, seriously, I did not think it would come this fast.
RIP Nicky

Iā€™m a bit all over the show with Nicky. She can be annoying if Iā€™m honest with myself, but more than anything I just feel desperately sad about the whole situation. I think a lot of her ā€œbehavioursā€ are coping mechanisms; the reverting to childlike behaviour, the fixation on Instagram and sharing everything, the plugging of various goods, the obsession with her next holiday, I think itā€™s all her way of distracting herself and having something ā€œimportantā€ to do. As annoying as it might seem, I get it. Who knows how the hell youā€™re meant to cope with being in a situation like that, at her age especially. Everyone is completely different. I donā€™t think sheā€™s long for this world, and I think she knows it, and if her days are numbered now then who cares how she deals with that, whatever makes her final days mentally bearable for her.

RIP, Nick. I didnā€™t expect this big news so soon, and honestly, itā€™s left me feeling very sad and empty. As annoying as Nick was in life, Iā€™d rather have an annoying but alive person than a person who doesnā€™t exist, but should. She was so young, and I must say, Iā€™ve actually come to admire her sheer determination to go on - to stare positivity in the eye and make the best of it. I didnā€™t always agree with the way she showed cancer or showed the apparent lack of hardship, but I will forever applaud her tenacity and, ultimately, badass attitude.
Frankly? Good for her. You got it, girl.
Now sleep tight. ā¤

I have only recently started following Nicky and tbh my heart breaks for her, because she must be terrified. I have sent her a couple of messages of support particularly recently when she was told she wasnā€™t suitable for the clinical trial.

I work for the NHS with people who have suspected cancer who are referred in for investigations, and then support them through diagnosis and referral onto correct specialities, so I feel I am surrounded by cancer a lot. I witness the NHS at its best but I also see it at its worst, long waits for scans etc, biopsy results taking a long time to come back, and I can tell you it isnā€™t for the want of people trying and going to extreme lengths to do their best for people.

I didnā€™t realise, and it has really irked me to find out that she has cancelled/rescheduled treatment and then done multiple posts slagging the NHS off. If she wants to not have scans or treatment to be able to go on holidays that is her prerogative as a patient and I would ultimately support whatever decision a person makes. But donā€™t, if you make that decision, start using Instagram to slag off the health service that has kept you going for all these years you have been diagnosed, and donā€™t front a Macmillan campaign about it. It is WRONG.

Anyone see that last to do item? Book funeral appointment..
Yes. And sheā€™s deliberately posted that so that EVERYONE sees it. Blanks out who sheā€™s invoicing and whos paying her but very deliberately ensures REARRANGE FUNERAL APPOINTMENT is clearly visible. Performative nonsense.

Jeez, talk about begging for attention. If you are well enough to post, post something of substance. Don't leave your followers dangling. It's this kind of manipulation that is sickening
