Now the reality-TV star is getting behind The 2019 Daffodil Day Appeal by the Cancer Council to help raise awareness.
“Every person you talk to, they’ve been touched by cancer or someone they know has,” said Nic. “It’s just horrific. Daffodil Day is not just about raising money but raising awareness. Cancer is still out there, and we need to fund research and find a way to get rid of it”.
He added: “You have so many mixed thoughts about cancer in your head. Has it spread? Is the chemo working? Will the surgery be enough?” he said.
After first being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015, the 24-year old Newcastle native had completed treatment by 2015 and was living in good health.
Nic told 9Honey that he first discovered another lump in December 2018.
He told the publication: “I also noticed a small semi-hard kind of lump at the end of my left testicle.”
“I couldn’t believe it.”
“Four years later … there was so much going on in my life, for it to come back, I’m still in shock that it came back.
“You think being that young and having dealt with it once, surely that’s it. And then over Christmas I was having a shower and I was sort of having a feel as you do, as most men should do.”
