As much as I dislike her I can only imagine what’s she’s trying to deal with right now. And her parents and Alex. It’s very sad
I can’t imagine being told you’re close to the end. The thought of having to leave my kids and missing the rest of their lives just breaks me. I’m not going to pretend I like NNL but I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. It’s a horrific way to go

Having had cancer twice myself and actually having to have another scan tomorrow because of new symptoms, know what a rollercoaster it is. Watching her stories used to annoy me as I honestly felt she came across so disingenuous. But thats all it was to me ,a bit of an annoying insta hun who had cancer. I can’t imagine being told my cancer was incurable and then given the opportunity to gain trips and money to make my remaining life a distraction from my impending death. Maybe she did go about in a Disney bubble and many feel she could have done a lot more for the ‘cause’ and yes she grifted the gram but can we really judge someone who was facing death at such a young age to ‘get it right’? Was she a bad person? I don’t think so, did she ride the gram for all it’s worth? Absolutely. I personally can’t blame her. And as much as we can all sit here and say we wouldn’t take strangers money and use it for holidays when we were dying, I also don’t think we can berate her for it. Maybe she just wanted to give her husband some amazing memories.

Wow guys, come on!! Some people are never satisfied are they? Maybe Alex is struggling himself and doesn’t really want to update? I have no time for her but fgs let her alone. I hope she’s ok. I want to see her back grifting and selling stupid shit. 🙏
I have a friend currently dying of cancer and it’s horrible. Really bloody shockingly horrible. 💔

Happy to see grief hasn't affected his appetite.
When my brother died I gained a lot of weight and I didn't even eat very much at all (it was probably the wine in fairness, but we all have to find a way to cope). His weight seems like the least relevant thing here.

I'm a first timer on here but I can't hold it in anymore. I have stage 4 cancer and I have my world around me and don't need the reassurance from the fake world of Instagram. I don't get how she thinks we want to all see this shit when we are having to work with pain and dangerous low bloods to make enough to do maybe something once a year yet it's given free to her.
I met her once at a small all day event. You would talk and mid conversation she would start to film so it's like wow ok interested in helping others then 🤦. Unless you have 1000s of followers her and a few others was not instresed and to be fair I spent time alone while they made up shit for Instagram in the end I left early cos it was not a fake world I wanted to be in.
I genuinely wouldn't even have the guts to brag

I've got to say i shed a tear on the post where she's holding his hand and the caption 'I never want it to end' that really got to me.

Have to say watching coconutandbuttercup updating and keeping her followers in the loop after MAJOR brain surgery just hours after the op is phenomenal
What a wonderful chuffing woman .. I applaud that lady 👏👏👏 I’m not going to slag off NNL or criticise or name call because she is ill but Cordelia and Brogan are REAL !!!! And if I could make them heal with my best wishes they’d be better tomorrow I’m wishing so hard for them
I’m going to preface this by saying I totally understand why people think NNL should be updating her followers after everything, but I honestly do think what an absolutely fucking mental world we live in where updating a load of randoms on an app post MAJOR brain surgery is applauded. What has gone so wrong that this is now expected? The whole health influencer category does boggle my brain sometimes 😂

I think you are quite deluded tbh if you think that every element of her behaviour and personality is simply her being this calculating, evil monster you have decided her to be. I get you despise her, there is plenty about her I don't like also, but I am not "trying to explain or come up with reasons" why she acts the way she does, I know she calculates and uses her followers. But none of this changes the fact she is a young woman dying and must be absolutely beside herself with terror and grief. It doesn't justify everything she does no, but as much as she may irritate me, I am still capable of having that empathy you say she relies upon and stepping back and realising that atleast some of what she does, is the only way she knows how to try and cope with what she is facing. And I can't be angry at her for that. Yes, I don't agree with a great deal of how she behaves, but I can't wipe my hands of her completely and decide oh well she's a cunt fuck her. At the end of the day, I don't really care how many holidays she has or what a tit of herself she makes on Instagram because her life is still absolutely devastating. You truly believe she is enjoying any of these holidays or brand deals? Nah, it's the thrill of the chase, no different to any drug addiction, shopping spree or even something as simple as a meal out, 9/10 the thought of it is the exciting part and once you have reality it's actually shit, but add to that knowing she's just trying to run from the fact she's dying? She's in hospital right now and as much as she may toy with everyone's emotions with her posting, there is a very real possibility she may not be leaving, she has to live with that knowledge.

Ultimately, as much of a twat as she is, I can just understand some of it is all and cut her a little slack. I realise not everyone wants to do that, but I do.
The trouble I have with her is her constant lies...her lies about how sick she is..how much pain she us in and she can be bed bound and in agony unable to move on day and twirling around at Disneyland days later ...
It doesn't work that way and it's insulting and a head fuck to people like me who are in chronic debilitating pain every day .
I would love to click my fingers and miraculously go from being unable to stand for more than 1 minute without screaming and feeling like my spine is being crushed to the next day going out for dinner to a pub..
If you are in the kind of pain she says she is in
Going out for dinner isn't possible...going on holidays isn't possible
Doing the things she does....isn't possible
And then I watch her and think
Am I not trying hard enough?
Am I being lazy?
Am I being a cry baby and a whimp?
Cause she says she is I the same kind of pain I am and I haven't left the house in a month and she's going out to the pub and going on holidays....
I absolutely hate her for her lies about how sick she is...

Whilst I agree with the rest of what you're saying, how is she meant to go and get a job when she has advanced cancer?
I've got a job and have stage 4 cancer (the exact same one as nicky)

I wouldn't be able to survive otherwise
It really isn't impossible, at all. Especially post the covid WFH boom.

Also if you are able to constantly travel and do handstands on various exotic beaches you are MORE than capable of getting a job

The NHS has many faults but looking at it from an outsider perspective makes you think.
I totally agree. I've found her recent attitude abhorrent to be honest. My (dearly departed) big brother was misdiagnosed for months leading up to a catastrophic illness - not cancer - but life threatening. He endured 8 operations, 3 cardiac arrests, a 12 week coma, and a 9 month hospital stay, it was all sadly easily avoided. During his (sadly short lived) recovery he was approached by different lawyers (he spoke on channel 4 news when he was in hospital in support of the Junior Doctor strikes, which is how they approached him) multiple times offering to help him sue the NHS and promising to publicise his story to make him money. His response? Why would I criticise and sue the institution that saved me, gave me so much and is the backbone of our society? I was and still am so proud of him for that and so much more. She needs to see the wider picture and get a clue about how over worked, under funded and under valued the NHS is by the current government. I bet she's a Tory.

Honestly I get where you are all coming from with how awful her behaviour has been and if you want to be angry at her that's completely your right. But I also think it's ok if we can't be. Either side of the coin is fair. She has behaved awfully, I have no doubts about that, but I just can't bring myself to be mad at her anymore, all I have left is sadness. None of us are in the wrong with whatever we are feeling, it's all justified and it's a very nuanced situation. All we can (rightfully) agree on is that her situation is awful and we wish this wasn't happening. As we would say for the very vast majority of folk in this situation.

Is this stupid bitch for real? Posting this after only YESTERDAY publicly saying that she hadn’t bothered her arse to get up and go to hospital for her chemotherapy appointment because she blatantly just couldnt be arsed, and that she would just rock up at whatever time it suited her and expect that the nurses would just accommodate her…. And she has the audacity to post this today trying to act all holier than thou about missed appointments?! Seriously?! Fuck all the way off you stupid self absorbed knobhead.

Have you heard of the "double effect" where as a professional delivering morphine as an injection they know this last dose of morphine will be the one to finally supress breathing?
I only ask this as my friend is a nurse (HV now) and said relatives of dying patients would beg for pain relief for them when their loved one was very close to death, appeared comfortable but the relatives themselves couldn't bear to hear the long drawn out sounds of the death rattle?
Just wanted to say, about when my mum died, which wasn’t of cancer, but her heart and kidneys were giving up, she had many health issues and it was her time. The doctor insisted all of us were there and he took us all to a room and said what they proposed to do … would put her on a morphine driver and it would slow her breathing down, but the alternative was a terrible horribly difficult death in which she drowned basically in her lungs filling up with fluid and probably then a cardiac arrest I guess. He went to great pains to ensure we all understood what he was saying and that we all agreed on it. It was handled very well and he gave us all the chance to say if we wanted her to continue as she was. I think it was the humane choice and I was glad for that. It’s difficult. We don’t talk about death enough and people think you can fix things that are irrecoverably broken to the detriment and suffering of that person.

As a stage 4 patient, this is what I fear the most.. while I'm stable, and have been for a couple of years, with 2 young children, I feel so sad that this is ahead (it's inevitable)
Alex seems like a loving and caring husband, it really must be so hard for him to watch her decline so rapidly (as with the rest of her family and friends)

The part that got me the most was the story of them in the garden together. Mr G looked like he'd been crying his eyes out and there was Nick, as happy and...clueless? Heavily medicated? Confused? In denial? As ever...

I don't care for either of them but I do think that Mr G has a kind face and is an overall good person, albeit very manipulated by our Princess. But there's no two ways about it, losing a person is hard and Mr G's situation is heartbreaking.

I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff NNL has done and used her social media for. However in this case I can’t bring myself to think this is anything other than a reply to what can only be several messages she will be receiving. If they didn’t update their followers they’d be wrong because of how much they’ve invested in her, when Alex does it it’s being looked at like it’s for engagement. I don’t think this is. I think this is courtesy to loads of people who will be genuinely worried about her.

My sister in law had the exact same cancer and complications as NNL. When she was told hat there were no lines of treatment for her she lasted 10 days. She made it to her daughters wedding two days before she passed though so that was amazing for our whole family
