She’s such hard work isn’t she.

She is! And always on the defensive. For someone who throws out inspiring ‘thoughts’ she’s forever angry or pissed off.

The sad part is that she wasn't this bitter before. I'm her long time follower and she used to make plans about her possible future, I remember that she wanted to be a nurse badly, I don't think it's possible with her disease and hardships that it brings but she should find some part time job or even volunteer and do something for her community. It's ironic because shes' been NED for 3 years and her mental health is getting worse and worse with each passing year. Also don't get me wrong, I love the sea and swimming but it's depressing to see her everyday on the beach on her own. Her relationship with her bf is strange, I thought that they got engaged but I'm not sure anymore.

I too have followed her for quite some time but the past year has been hard work because she is just so bitter, yes!
That’s why my point re getting a job and being part of a paid workforce, surely that’s better for one’s mental health than wandering around a beach by yourself on a regular workday for most.

High chance of it returning. Shes stage 4, they removed all visable cancer during her PE surgery and shes had clear scans ever since but uts very likely it will pop up again in the future.

They are engaged and have been for years. Youd think they would start making wedding plans now, i mean what are they waiting for?

they dont seem to have much semblance of a relationship at the moment - shes never in london anymore. Dunno whats going on.

The poor guy must be on eggshells around her every minute they're together if she's as argumentative with him as she is with well-meaning people leaving comments on her post. I think he's a saint for sticking by her, not because of her cancer, just because of her crappy personality.

She’s very angry and bitter isn’t she? Yes, she’s really been dealt a very tit hand but why does she never show any joy or be pleased for anyone who is on the up?

I honestly think social media is having a terrible effect on her outlook and mental health. She’s comparing herself to everyone else and seems to be starting to resent the community that she has built online. I think she needs to get out into the real world again and start working on building up her real life again - get a job, start socialising witj real non cancer/non “influencer” people, rebuild her relationship with her partner, start focusing on her future. She just seems stuck.

The glass is half full 🍷 from how I view it. Yes a crappy hand from requiring extensive surgery but to date the results have been so positive so that’s a second chance at life. Certainly something to be happy and grateful for … not ongoing bitter and cynical!

Stuck at her choosing.
Poor poor me, chip on my shoulders… yes she resents others who are healthy and happy. Think a holiday off social media and out to the recruitment firm would be a good start.
 
I followed Nat when she’d just had her surgery. I cannot even imagine the enormity of what she’s gone through and the stress of living with the very high chance of cancer coming back plus chronic pain etc etc.

BUT for the love of god - you are not the only woman who can’t have a child. For many reasons, women who wish to conceive are often unable to. There comes a point when you need to stop banging on about it. Especially on Mother’s Day when those of us who’ve lost their mums don’t need to read more self obsessed misery. I’ve unfollowed a few weeks ago, the fact she was in the pocket of that complete bullying tool Bowelbro put me right off.

I must say it is one of my biggest aggravations that these ‘cancer influencers’ don’t have routine in their life and go out to work like most ‘normal’ people do.
They all talk self respect and self worth, yet there is nothing like the self worth one gets from having a wage paying position, doing anything that’s something!
Nat W is certainly well enough to be able to work some hours in a working week, yet spends lots of hours roaming beaches, filming and watching tv.
Interesting pastime!

Yes, losing the distraction, self-esteem and social connection of employment is a huge loss. However, having the energy/ability to sometimes go for a walk or to watch TV is very different from having the ability to work at set times and not all employers are ready or able to accommodate appointments, random days when you can't work or can't manage all the hours/duties etc. Maybe that's why so many p/w cancer go the influencer/activist route so they can still feel they're making a positive impact without the stress of working while limited by illness/treatment?

Yep it was a long one too ! Ended with a charming you are all c**** I read it refreshed the screen and it had gone

Damn i wish id seen it.

Bottom line is - if you can’t handle being the subject of online chat, then you need to keep your private life private or you need to grow a pair and stop actively looking for it. No one is forcing anyone to read tattle, they are making an active choice to log on here and read. Dont like it? Then bugger off and stop reading it!!!!!

Lots of people live with cancer and still go out to work. Lots of people with cancer dont have any other option. Being an online “influencer” is an easy way of making money by monetising and selling yourself online. You have to be a full on narcissist to even consider doing it.

If you have cancer then you'd be covered by the Equality Act, so any employer would have to make reasonable adjustments, which would include accommodating appointments etc. I think in a lot of cases, these cancer influencers would rather earn their living by their attention-seeking endeavours on social media. Then complaint when people don't dawn over them or agree with their bullshit.

There’s always casual positions whereby you can still meet your appointments. Lots of employers offer casual hours even in health settings there are many openings for casuals. I just think being amongst others and part of a working team would be beneficial for lots of these influencers who sometimes appear like lost souls as they float around solo.
 
I have incurable cancer and a very flexible employer. I work because I enjoy it but the Insurance policies I have in the event of being too sick to work or die plus the private health insurance also make me stick about.

My life is incredibly boring as a Cancer patient. I work, look after my kids and spend all my time with them making memories. Why anyone would want to share those precious moments with the rest of the world is beyond me. I appreciate those that raise awareness of symptoms, raise awareness of advocating for patients and charities etc. Using your illness to make money and find fame is very weird.
