Why doesn’t she contact the Marsden they might be able to help
She could go to her doctors and ask about going private, they could then point her in the right direction or refer her They too have waiting list but it’s much quicker, you just need to ask your doctors, this was always my gripe with BowelBabe, she was private, any new suspected spread she was in the next day, she didn’t really make it obvious she was private and I think people expect it to happen that quickly. If I was Nicky I’d be asking the question.I thought that might be the case but like I say, I have 0 medical training .. So it's not fair to say 'well go private then' as some people have suggested.
Yeah, it really isn't as hard to go private as some people are making out - if you have the money and a suitable place nearby (and are willing to do a bit of your own research) .She could go to her doctors and ask about going private, they could then point her in the right direction or refer her They too have waiting list but it’s much quicker, you just need to ask your doctors, this was always my gripe with BowelBabe, she was private, any new suspected spread she was in the next day, she didn’t really make it obvious she was private and I think people expect it to happen that quickly.

this is what I was coming on here to say. I feel for her, I really do but she has posted flippantly before about choosing to delay chemo so she can go away. She has never, to my knowledge, criticised her care before. Now all of a sudden there’s a delay and she isn’t happy.Wasn't bothered about delaying treatment while she went on holiday was she?
It's the double standards for me, regardless of whether she can afford or obtain a private procedure!
It doesn’t go down as far as I know. It always shows the total raisedWow, she has almost 30 grand in that GFM! Yes, I think I would definitely be looking at private options....
Is that the total she has been donated, or does GFM go down when you withdraw money?
No it doesn’t show what’s been withdrawn. Only shows the total amount raised to date.Wow, she has almost 30 grand in that GFM! Yes, I think I would definitely be looking at private options....

She will also 100% not acknowledge she missed treatments due to her choices, but is now ready to jump on the NHS when there is delays. Every single person that needs it in this country is waiting on appointments, and 99.9% of us wouldn't delay something serious for our 6th holiday in 12 months.Wasn't bothered about delaying treatment while she went on holiday was she?

Other cancer sufferers have something that Skippy is totally lacking - humility.She’s too greedy to spend her piggy bank of donations on health care when she can get it free
Plus 30k wouldn’t last a blip depending on what she actually has left, didn’t daddy ever tell you to save for a rainy day?
The GFM is purely for squandering and living her best life Jollydaying around the world
She thinks shes something special and deserves privileged care/treatment before other cancer sufferers, well Skippy the reality is you wipe your arse the same way as everyone else, thats a fact
She probably doesn't wipe her ass the same, she probably poses for a selfie whilst doing it!She’s too greedy to spend her piggy bank of donations on health care when she can get it free

Also when she has been so flippant about any treatments why does she deserve anything before those who truly commit to their care?
Trust me if she got an offer of a holiday she would be away and it would be duck others and duck to treatment
Alex probably wipes it for herShe probably doesn't wipe her ass the same, she probably poses for a selfie whilst doing it!
Well said. Pretty much everything going wrong with this country can be laid at the feet of our current government.I really wish people would stop slating the NHS. I understand that people are experiencing difficulties. I don’t have any issues as horrific as terminal cancer, but I’m going to be waiting months for in-person physiotherapy. The NHS is a publicly funded organisation but they are organised by the government. Blame the Tories! Don’t post on your platform with thousands of followers slating the NHS, when they are doing the best they can with the resources they have been given.
I think it's easy to say that when your life isn't quite literally on the line though. The NHS does alot of good but it also fails alot of people and some of those people don't have the luxury of time and most of them certainly don't have funds to go private. Noone's survival should be wealth dependent.I really wish people would stop slating the NHS. I understand that people are experiencing difficulties.

But isn't this point? Nicky does have the funds to go private and yet she stays on the NHS, actively even missing the important treatments it is providing for her and still goes on to slate it. She is a dick.I think it's easy to say that when your life isn't quite literally on the line though.

Agree, but a lot of the NHS ‘failing people’ isn’t because of the people, it’s because of the astronomic lack of funding from the government. She’s going after the wrong people. She shouldn’t be lobbying the NHS, she should be lobbying the government.I think it's easy to say that when your life isn't quite literally on the line though.

I know you don't want to do this, and in my eyes that's a very dignified response and mine would be the same, but if you were to start a GFM I'd contribute gladly.But isn't this point?

I'm in the same position as Nicky. I would give anything for 30k. And it would be spent on treatment or saved for an emergency as all stage 4 cancers patients are aware one will come sooner or later.
Super irresponsible in my eyes to spend the majority on holidays
I understand that… but it’s not the NHS’ fault that they are failing people. It’s the government’s due to a lack of funding. I agree that no one’s survival should be wealth dependent, but that’s the reality of the Tories.I think it's easy to say that when your life isn't quite literally on the line though.
