Jesus even her oncologist is giving her gifts now. Wonder if she gives the same to her other patients or just to malingerers. I can’t actually believe these people sending trainers (for someone who supposedly can’t even stand unaided, rads or not) and vile swimsuits costing £80. She’s reeling them in like a swordfish boat captain! To hell with all the others who are struggling with cancer and not on Instagram with 215k followers as long as nauseous Nicky is ok.

It was cleaver working - the oncologist took them down to her, they weren’t necessarily from the oncologist though.

The gifts are from other patients/people who have left them with Nickys oncologist to give to Nicky? Hasn't her oncologist got enough to be doing instead of playing postman pat?
 
I don’t understand why people are giving her gifts at all. From companies to individuals, it just doesn’t make sense to me. What exactly is she DOING to warrant a bunch of stuff? Genuinely, I just can’t believe it. I know someone who showers others with gifts, is the kindest person on Earth — a cancer patient too — and refuses to accept gifts herself!! Nicky is the exact opposite. Taaaake taaake take.
 
I hope I am never ever in the position to find out…. But I cannot imagine wanting to post everything all over social media if I had cancer. I’d want to focus on having my treatment and focus on spending time with my family and friends without the need to put it on instagram and try and get free stuff. This isn’t just aimed at Nicky, it’s aimed at all these “cancer influencers”. Maybe it’s a way of coping, I don’t know. As I said though, I hope I’m never in that position but I just don’t get putting yourself out there so much just because you’ve got cancer.

You’re right it’s survival mode and I couldn’t even pick up my iPad or phone I felt so ill. I’m in remission and so grateful but I just don’t get get at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

i could understand if it's other patients she has met during treatment, who perceive her as a friend and who are aware she's currently going thru chemo, leaving a card or whatever with the nurses on the wards when they are there for an appointment, and asking them to to give to Nicky on their behalf, so show their support, wish her luck, like those little notes and trinkets that her oncologist brought to her earlier - but it does make me wonder whether Nicky ever does anything similar, and cards or gifts to other who are going thru particularly difficult times, because I can't imagine her buying a gift for another patient without documenting it on IG, which she never has - and she's always been keen to show off her kindness any time she has brought a gift for the nurses, like that single bar of chocolate from her holiday to share between them all! i can imagine a ward where patients have met each other and fought alongside ecah other during chemo etc would form a community, so if other patients were popping in for check up appointments and we're aware Nicky was unwell and delai G with more chemo that they may choose to reach out to show their support etc - but it's very telling that Nicky's focus always seems to be on HER, and she never seems to consider what any of the other patients are dealing with - even to the point that her behaviour often lacks thought in the impact it has on those around her.

and whilst I can potentially see the logic behind the little notes and gifts of good luck etc, i don't understand all the "just turned up at the ward and the nurse gave me an M&S gift card left for me by *whoever*!" as she skips off to buy herself treats, because that's far more than a little show of solidarity! 🤷🏻‍♂️

That can be said about any influencer or famous person that gets given piles if stuff in fairness.

The real eye opener is what goes into things like Oscar nominees gift bags.

Sharing that your oncologist got you gifts with strangers on the gram is very much “Look at me, I am popular” behaviour, and devalues the thought behind it. I bet you £50 she didn’t ask the oncologist if she could blast the gesture on Instagram to 200K people. She would have been told No, because the oncologist knows (or should know?) it’s not really ethical to be shown to be giving preferential treatment to one patient over another. So I do hope this oncologist sends cards to all of her female patients—calls them “gorgeous” in the cards and buys them crystals, signed off with love hearts and kisses. If not why not? Sounds inappropriate when I read that back tbh.

I think they were gifts from other people that the oncologist was just passing on. (Like the oncologist hasn’t got better things to do than act as Nicky’s personal delivery service)
