@@masterchiefpettyofficerjoh4860thanks, unfortunately I’m not religious what so ever, and while I respect and appreciate the thoughts of all our Christian supporters our current experience has only reinforced to me why I wouldn’t go back to considering myself a Christian Thankyou though

@@masterchiefpettyofficerjoh4860 thanks but I really don’t want to hear about any particular God in these circumstances

Oh mate so sorry 😢 i lost my sister and i feel your pain my friends..The battle is not over yet..Much love and strength to Liz you and family 🙏❤

[@kizmo2317]

Just found you today from a 3 year old video on the red belly black snake. I'm so sorry to hear this.

[@Poohze01]

I'm so sorry. I hope our support can help.

[@CJam1]

This breaks my heart. I have shared your page to my socials to hopefully help build your subscribers. Peace and best vibes from my NF family to yours

[@CamperKev]

I'm so sorry for your wife and everyone affected. So deeply sorry. I have never met you and I will never meet you, but you just made my eyes water.

[@simonwolstencroft6128]

So sorry mate ❤

[@nancycurtis7315]

Oh Nick, I am sure that each and everyone is feeling so much empathy, just as I am. I appreciate all the time that you have put towards us. Thank you, from Dimboola, in Victoria.

Cancer certainly does knock the wind out of your sails. All the best for Liz in her treatment.

[@johnx9318]

Sorry to hear this mate. Thanks for the videos that you have shared. The very best wishes to you and your wife. Take care.

[@willian.direction6740]

Well done Nick, sorry to hear of your families circumstance and I will be watching your next video when ever you get round to it no rush. I saw a nice young Eastern Brown with the black patch near Hawker when I was bush walking. First thing I did was search your channel because sure enough Nick will know what type of snake it was I saw for the first time. Regards take care..

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

I’m so sorry mate, all the best

[@todaywefly4370]

Good luck in all things mate.

[@ecclestonsangel]

Nick no words can express how terribly sorry I am. I wish I knew why these things happened. I'd like to be optimistic and say there's every chance your Liz can outlive the time the doctors gave her. Please don't worry about us. We all completely understand that you need to change your priorities right now. We'll still be here when ýou come back. Take your time, and do what you need to do. Like I said we'll be right here, waiting for you. With warm regards, Val.(your friend in America)

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

I know a few people that have survived cancer, and a few that have not. while it's sensible to prepare in these cases, all hope is not lost. I have MS and I'm in oncology every month.

[@damien0505]

Nick, I am so sorry to hear about Liz. Mate that is devastating. Having lost my dad to cancer and now watching my mum battling it now I sincerely feel your pain. You are a great man doing wonderful things. Take the time you need, cherish every moment with your beautiful family. My love and best wishes to you all. ♥️🙏💔

[@schaynegeorge4793]

Ah mate. When you said Peter Mac the other week, I knew it was rough but I was hoping it would be a slog she'd come out on top of. I'm so sorry. I hope your family and local community are supporting you right now and in the coming months.

[@StormBoy505]

[@WickedWildlife]

Thankyou very much mate

[@heraldofrevival9517]

I’ve been a subscriber since you had less than 2k. When I first found this channel, I was surprised I caught it so early, as you already carried yourself with the demeanor of someone with hundreds of thousands of viewers, the type of grateful creator you see who genuinely enjoys all the content they release. It’s been a nice pastime to come and see the growth of this channel and see comments from others who feel the way I do. I’m terribly sorry that such an unfortunate event is happening to you and your family, but I’d like you to know that all the effort you and your wife have put into this channel has, and will continue, to bear fruit. I feel the same way I did when I first subscribed to you, if not even more so, that there are some people who are meant to be on this platform. I echo the other commenters here who will miss you both should circumstances make it so. No matter what happens, you should be confident in the fact you and your wife have captivated countless people with your shared passion for wildlife and presentation. I’ll pray for your Elizabeth, and you too. Take all the time you need. No matter when you end up returning, I’ll be watching, excited for the growth that will inevitably follow.

[@chelseaharden]

❤ praying for Liz's miraculous healing.

[@saspredydious9295]

Okay! Let’s get Nick’s subs up. I’ve just shared to everyone on my contact list. He’s been educating us for years, now it’s time to really show our appreciation and support! Blessings to Nick, Liz and family!

Thankyou!

[@welshskies]

Best wishes from Wales. Stay positive.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Oh, Nick. My heart is going out to your family. Thank you for putting so much love, kindness, passion, and knowledge about wildlife into the world. You and Liz have made such a beautiful impact and I'm grateful for you both. I hope you feel the love surrounding you and your family ❤

[@WickedWildlife]

Thankyou guys, the support has been fantastic but at this point all we can do is hunker down and hope she’s in the small percentage with this specific cancer that chemo buys time for, but even the very best cases with metastatic sarcoma are very poor

[@Jack_Lange]

Sorry to hear Nick, I wish you all the best on this journey with Liz.

[@machinegunn15]

so sorry to hear about this devastating news and i wish the very best for you and your family. i always love your videos and love watching them.

I love your channel mate, your videos are really informative, I really enjoy learning about Australia's lesser known critters, I also appreciate the way you take care not to sensationalise the more dangerous animals. I'm so sorry to hear the horrible news, I hope that you will be able to spend a lot of quality time with your wife before she leaves us, wishing you and your family all the best ❤

Liz, you, and your family are in my prayers, may God have mercy, and comfort y'all through the difficult times ahead. Please spend as much time as possible with your wife and family, they're the most important thing in your life right now! I'm sure your loyal follows will be here for you through it all. I just found you and i'll be here, and y'all are in my heart, thoughts, and constant prayers here in Tennessee, USA 🙏🙏🙏🥰

[@retroguy95]

So sorry to hear no one deserves to go through this can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. Honestly you should take as much time as you need, people aren't going to unsubscribe or stop watching if you take a break real supporters will stick around for if/when you're ready to return because family is more important than anything.

[@ianparkinson7039]

Nick, I have only recently become a subscriber and have the greatest respect for what you do. I have been married to my wife for nearly 20 years and can understand how hard this time is for you and your family. My sincerest hope for you is for you to get strength from God and from your children as you travel this journey. I will continue to follow this channel and will share your story to others as well. God Bless to you and your family.

[@michaelshort2388]

Hi Nick. Congratulations on 30,000 subs. I am very sorry to hear about Liz. She sounds like an amazing lady and I hope you and your family get as long as possible together with her. I will work hard at spreading your channel far and wide. You are one of, if not THE best wildlife KZbin channels and it would be sad to lose you. That being said, your family must come first so of course we will understand if that's the course you need to take.

[@ExiLE-fc4pk]

Please do what is best for you and your family Nick. We all are so grateful for your content, but we completely understand that other matters may take priority. I have a lot of respect for you and your family in this tough time. Take care.

[@SnakeCatcher]

Mate, that was very heartfelt and brutally honest. Thank you for opening up to us and being so vulnerable, that is so hard to do. I'm off to hospital for a bilateral sentinel lymph node dissection this weekend, I won't say I know what you're going through, but I feel these emotions and feel for you brother!

[@TheodoreSchnell]

Respectfully, you and yours have my prayers. Been through cancer myself, watched Mom go through it back in the 1970s and again in 2018. Seems to me your priorities are where they need to be with your wife and children. God bless and strengthen you, and thank you and Liz for all the work you've put into this channel.

[@mrrol5212]

oh no that is so sad. good luck for your wife and you and i hope that the life changes that happen will be filled with joy with the time you have with your wife and your kids!. i am so very sorry mate!

[@dirtyharry292]

So sorry to hear this Nick, I recently lost my father to cancer and I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. Throw yourself into your family and spending time together - so you are there for those precious moments that become wonderful memories. The stoics say that life happens for you, not to you - that helped me focus on what was important and be present for my family. Find a way to make however long you have together positive every day mate and take care.

[@morklookingup]

Have strength Nick and love from our family out here in Coonabarabran.

[@Dingosimon]

I don't know what to say, except , you will just have to listen to your inner self and do what you know needs to be done. It just seems so unfair, but life is like that. I hope you get the support you need, and I hope Liz will be strong enough to make the most of what time she has left. None of us ever know , when we will die.

[@youtube.commentator]

You're welcome.

Hope you can find firm ground again! Very best luck!

Oh I am so sorry. A while back God bought me thru breast cancer. I pray that your lovely wife will be bought thru this too. Lots of love sent to you 🥰

While I am not religious we can certainly hope, that being said metastatic sarcoma has a long term survival of zero

Sorry to hear mate. I’ve seen the struggles of cancer first hand and have had a close call myself so I really feel for you and your family. Keep your head up, I know it’s incredibly hard but it’s amazing how much better thing can be when you stay positive and not let the battle overcome you mentally. Sending my love ❤

[@jacobgartlan9728]

We love you Nick, cancer is a curse to any family and I’m so sorry you all have to deal with this terrible reality.. I’m gonna be sharing your channel with all my mates, you’ve been an absolute gem of a resource in learning about Australian wildlife, which has resulted in me working as a snake catcher for a time and now working in conservation, for that I’m eternally grateful for all your content. I’d love to see more content from you in the future but like you said, family comes first so you do what’s right for you and we’ll al support you no matter what. Sending love

[@robertmoyse4414]

I love your channel and had a few tears when I listened to this. Being a Christian has helped me in hard situations and loss of people close to me. God designed all that beautiful wildlife so you know he can do impressive things. I can explain more off line if you are interested. I'll check for a reply.

[@WickedWildlife]

Thankyou but despite being raised in a Christian house hold I am very much not interested in Christianity, especially at this point Thankyou for the thought though!

[@katelillo1932]

I’m so sorry this is happening to your family, Nick. I lost my biological mother to cancer when I was a teenager and then my adoptive mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 - thankfully my adoptive mom was able to recover fully but it was a terrifying time. One thing that Liz may want to explore is the use of turkey tail and lions mane mushrooms as a supportive therapy; there’s some research that they aid the body in healing. Sending you and Liz and the babies (humans and animals) all my love and good thoughts ❤
