Kiwi comedian Dai Henwood has shared his most important learnings amid his brave health journey after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2020.
Responding to a fan on TikTok who asked the New Zealand comedy legend “what type of cancer” he has, Henwood, sitting in a peaceful outdoor setting with a small dog, tells his followers:
“I have bowel cancer. I have colorectal cancer, stage four, which is now called incurable cancer. I had a surgery on my bowel. I had a surgery on my liver. And three surgeries on my lungs,” he adds, looking incredulous.
“Another little surgery on my liver. Heaps of chemo, heaps of radiation,” says the Kiwi comedian who became a household name as he starred on TV shows such as Seven Days, Family Feud, Dancing with the Stars and most recently, Lego Masters.
He goes on to share that “at the moment” he only has cancer in his lungs where 10 tumours are present. He also has one against a lymph node that has been radiated “and I believe it’s gone,” says the 45-year-old.
