Life after cancer death of husband and father Hamish MacPherson
November 10, 2023
Queenstown - It was a lovely day, the day Hamish MacPherson died. The sun was shining, and the mountains were visible from the hospital bed set up in his bedroom at his Queenstown home. “There were about four of us here having lunch and I went in to check on him and checked again five minutes later, and he was gone. It was as peaceful and beautiful as it could be.”, said his wife Jana. It started in February 2022 when Hamish noticed a lump on his neck. It was diagnosed as melanoma and successfully removed. But in January, Hamish began to feel unwell. A scan revealed devastating results – the cancer had metastasised to his brain, lungs, stomach and liver, and it was inoperable. Hamish had no health insurance, but his health was fast declining. They paid for an oncologist and scans. Those appointments led to Hamish starting on unfunded treatment, but things got worse, and he ended up in hospital. He began on new medication, also unfunded, after 10 agonising days. Hamish called it his “magic pills”. The treatment gave Hamish valuable quality time with Jana and their children, but by August it was clear that he was declining and there was little more that could be done for him. Instead of spending his last weeks in a hospital, Hamish decided to go home, where he died on September 6.
