Sorry to learn of Dr Dady's passing. Thank you so much for your Oncology diagnosis and the subsequent treatment programme followed in 2001 which in due course led to my recovery. I am only sorry I have never had the opportunity to meet you in person to offer you a personal 'thank you'.
Rest in Peace. Ted PINER

This is sad. Peter and I served together on the Capital and Coast District Health Board and he was also my oncologist two decades ago...his was a challenging personal life, he was a determined advocate and a courageous doctor. He was highly respected. My thoughts are with his family.

I was in my early thirties when I received my diagnosis - unless I received chemotherapy, I wouldn't have long, and even then the chances of survival were not rosy. It was hard facing the prospect of leaving behind those you love, your children, loved ones, the scent of a flower, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the feeling of the salt water as your dive beneath the waves. My first oncologist Peter Dady, never gave me false hope, but you were one of many, who gave me the strength to persevere. I will miss you Peter You had known sadness in your own life, and with the number of patients endlessly churning through Wellington Hospital's cancer ward - each with their own burden, you kept going and were always decent and had time. I am glad that our lives intersected and will be forever grateful.
