Nicola Du Thaler
In her 30 plus years as a secondary school teacher Nicola has had many uncomfortable conversations but none of them compare to the conversations she has experienced around cancer. Nicola has been a patient, a survivor, a carer for a terminally ill cancer patient and a supportive best friend to a ‘teaching bestie’ with ovarian cancer. Diagnosed in 2018 with a rare cancer, she has undergone radio and chemotherapy and later surgery to treat her cancer. She is now in the process of rebuilding her life post cancer surgery. She is addicted to pilates and building miniatures. In the future Nicola hopes to volunteer for Survivors Teaching Students to help improve outcomes for women affected by cancer.
