Wow, this is one old thread....

Well, lessee. After the first round of chemo, everything looked OK for a time. Stacey had a 6-month break, to allow her to recover from the chemotherapy.

Unfortunately, her cancer count rebounded VERY fast, putting her right back where she was pre-treatment.

The doctor indicated that the tumors on her liver have reduced, but that the cancer has metastasized (spread) to the bone, primarily in her hip joints and a couple places in her back.

So, she returned to the normal course of chemo. That lasted about 6 weeks, but her platelets and white blood counts were getting too low to continue on that course of treatment.

Now she's on a different treatment - It's an even more aggressive course, which unfortunately is accompanied by more of the typical chemo side effects.

It's been a rough several months, as she has days where you'd never know she's sick, and days where she's barely able to get out of bed.

The good news is, she's still here despite the doctor's initial prognosis, and she's maintaning a kick-butt mindset.

Sorry to let you guys down - Looks like it'll be a longer battle than we thought, but we're entrenched and well-equipped for whupping this thing.

Pop in on her Z profile and say "what's up" if ya want.

Thanks Dan / Ben & the rest of ya.

Our thoughts and prayers are still with you, Stacey, and the whole family. Stay strong, guys.

[Maverick7687]

Wow, I was just thinking about this whole thing last night too.

Beat it once.. She will do it again! Keep up that attitude and it will work out. You guys will definately stay in my thoughts and prayers.

[Fahaka]

Everyone needs to send good thoughts Stacy's way, wether it be prayers for those who are religious, or feelings of good will from those who are not. She needs the power of Nico to help her, it is the least we can do. Stacy is a wonderful person and she is in my thoughts and prayers.

[AZhitman]

Thx Morrie.

She's bound and determined to go to Atlanta, so she'll be there. I'm hoping she's having a "good" weekend so she can enjoy the trip.

[szh]

Greg,

Having met NICOMom recently, I am totally impressed by her and your family. I will definitely pray for everything to work out well! Keep the faith,

Z

[nvrplzd240]

greg, i realize that ive never met you guys, but still my prayers go out to Stacy and your family

[ddgsxr504]

Wow this is news to me!! Now that I look I see that this happened 3 months after I became a member and I was in Iraq for the 3rd time as well.

Sorry to hear of this but if she has come this far then she will pull thru. My mom died of ovarian cancer like 10 years ago so I feel ya man.

Good luck Greg and Stacy and know that NICO is pulling for ya.

With 45,000 prayers I'm sure god will hear and heed!!

[~4N~]

Wow, I don't know when I missed this, but I'm glad things are looking up!

[AZhitman]

Thanks all - I hope all of you get to tell her this stuff in person in ATL, VA or PHX over the next six months.

[Bumnah]

Best wishes for you wife. My mom had cancer (luckily she beat it). It's tough on the family.

Best wishes to you and your family.

[PoorManQ45]

I've always had this idea in my head that if you put your mind to something, no matter what it is, if you really want it you can get it.

For me this includes illness. I've often wondered if the reason people die of these things is that they have given up in one way or another.

And then those that beat it, are those the ones that really fought it?

Or is it neither, and God really does role dice?

I don't really believe in luck though.

Keep fighting stacy

[HashiriyaS14]

Best wishes to both of you, if anyone can kick this thing's *** it's the two of you.

Looking forward to seeing you both at VIR.

Let me know if there's ANYTHING I can do!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Wow...thanks for the update Greg. Stacey will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Dano]

WE LOVE YOU STACEY!

Your in my thoughts and prayers everyday, we love ya! <3

This is most certainly true.

[RB20DETodd]

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

Hope eveything goes well AZ.

[Oatmealman]

Man,i've been there and done that.My mom has had cancer 3 times,and it is hard on the faimly.

GET WELL STACEY.<3

[skydragoness]

It's unfortunate to hear how it has come back, sounds serious. I think Stacey and your family can overcome this if you guys remain positive. I'll be keeping Stacey in my thoughts!

[Dano]

Nightly bump. She needs our prayers and good wishes guys!

-Dan

[Gold Digger]

Nightly bump. She needs our prayers and good wishes guys!

-Dan

I'll even bump here too. Give it a late night rise to the top for the Nite Crew folks.

Be well Stacey, we're thinkin 'bout ya.

[Mr1der]

ok...so the fight goes a few more rounds.

I still predict Stacey by knockout.

[bobotech]

I was really happy to hear the good news last year when this thread started to die out. Everything seemed looking good, so I"m very disheartened to hear about her setbacks.

I pray that she gets some sort of miracle and that she pulls though this.

Cancer is the worst demon that most people will ever have to fight and Stacey seems to be one of those people who is here to kick *** and take names with cancer.

She is far to young to be dealing with this crap. Get well Stacey!!

[Dano]

Bumpity.
