All NICOnauts: Some prayers for NICOmom, please....

[AZhitman]

Hey guys -

We could use some prayers here for the NICO household.

NICOmom had been feeling a little "under the weather" for about 3 weeks. She was having some cramps and pain that she thought was related to some "female" problems.

A scan and ultrasound revealed a couple things, which led to further tests.

We went in this morning for some outpatient testing, and upon completion they immediately admitted her to the hospital.

She has been diagnosed with colon cancer, with several significant tumors, and the cancer appears to have invaded her liver as well.

She will be having several emergency surgeries tomorrow, and will be hospitalized for approximately a week.

An aggressive regimen of chemotherapy will begin in about 3 weeks, once she regains her strength.

As you can image, we're both pretty devastated, and it's hard to "think business" when this is staring in your face. I'll be in and out of touch over the next several days, so if you guys could hold the fort down, it'd be appreciated.

You guys are our family, so whether you prefer to pray, think "good thoughts", send "positive energy", or meditate on topics of concern, please do so.

We will beat this. I'm expecting nothing less than a miracle.

Stacey sends her love. Be safe out there.

My mom had a couple of pre-tumors. Luckily they were all found in her check-ups, and dealth with accordingly.

I will keep your wife in my prayers for as long as I can remember to pray for her.

Its not often that I pray, but this definitely deserves one. I hope she gets through this, if its any hope to you my best friends dad recovered fully from pretty serious colon cancer and has been problem free for pobably 8 years now.

You and Stacy and the kids will certainly be in my thoughts. I hope she recovers quickly and completely.

I have no doubt things will work out... You and Nicomom deserve nothing less than the best. You will both be in my thoughts and I wish the best.

I know how you feel, my father has lung cancer. It's rough, but with chemo, prayer, and the support of everyone, she'll pull through. You'll be in my thoughts.

Don't worry Greg, you've got 26,000+ Niconauts behind you and NICOmom, I'm sure she'll pull through just fine.

[Q-less]

Sorry AZ, I hope she fully recovers....she's the good half. j/kMedical technology will prevail, and soon she will be back in your arms nitpicking you.

[NISTECH]

Greg I will keep all of you in my thoughts. She will come out of this brother. Keep your head up and be strong for the little one too.

[gniknave]

I think I speak for everybody when I say we've all got your back. You can bet your *** I'll be praying hard and long for a speedy recovery. It's just one of the many speedbumps in life, but I have great faith that you both will get through it and move on. If you can, send me an address where I can send a card and some flowers to.
