The Midlands Today host has undergone surgery for the “extensive and aggressive” cancer.
The 75-year-old newsreader and host of BBC Midlands Today revealed on Monday that he had been informed of his diagnosis in April, and has since undergone surgery.
Speaking on Midlands Today, Nick said that 13 April – the day he received the news from doctors – would be “a date [that] will forever be imprinted on my mind”.“I went to a specialist, he wasn’t too worried because my figures weren’t that high,” he explained. “But he decided I ought to have a scan, and then the scan said there’s something dodgy going on, and then he sent me for a biopsy, which he did. And the results of that were the killer.
Doctors then told Nick that his cancer was “extensive and aggressive” and that “something needed to be done pretty fast”.“It was a very grim moment … driving home after that sort of news and ringing people, texting people, my phone went crazy for hours on end. And it was a very, very difficult time for me, and indeed for my wife, Vicki, who was by my side all the time through this.”
