King’s Birthday Honours 2025: Comedian Dai Henwood on ONZM happiness after ‘heavy month’
June 2, 2025
Auckland - Dai Henwood apologises in advance for woozy replies to congratulatory messages. All going well, tomorrow he will be in surgery. The comedian with stage-four cancer has today been named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to the entertainment industry and charitable fundraising. He’s super stoked. But first, “a couple of complications” to deal with. “It’s nothing major. It’s just I’ve had fluid around my heart and lungs . . . which is frustrating because the new chemo drug I’m on is actually working very well.” The operation scheduled for tomorrow is “basically draining the fluid with a view to it not coming back ... unfortunately, as anyone with cancer, or associated with cancer would know, it’s never an easy road. Just as you think everything’s going great, there’s a curveball”. Henwood was heading to hospital when he received a message about the King’s Birthday Honour.

It is IMO beyond believable, that doctors tell people, that their illness is 'untreatable'. Learn to live with it. Go home and die. There are several non-allopathic treatments that probably have not even been tried. You see Scott Adams throw the towel in the ring one third into a treatment. You see a 32 year old give up, stop living and go sit home to wait for death??? there are several treatments available that even don't need a doctor - Moerman and Budwig are only 2. There are also several others. At 32, you should not give up ! If you are 80 - or even 70 - you might think, well I do not want to give up my sugary treats, my meat, my habitual diet. But when you are still at the start of life, you should give everything available a chance. Special like them with a baby underway.
