Colby’s Story

Site created on January 15, 2020

Our sweet Colby has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is starting her walk to rid her body of illness,  and then restore her back to full amazingness.  
Rhett and Colby have been spending time with doctors and support professionals to plan the best course of action in treating her cancer.  The best news is that she has an early diagnosis and she is on track for a full and complete recovery.  The first hurdle will take place on February 10th.  Colby is schedule for an 8 hour double mastectomy.  As we can all imagine, this is a major surgery with significant down time.  Let's come together as the amazing community we are to support the Nichol family as they walk this path.

How can you help? 
1. Let's blanket our girl and her family in daily prayer.  Matthew 18:20 For when two or three gather in My name, then I am with them.
2. Keep them nourished with meals.  (An occasional freezer meal is helpful to accommodate schedules changes.)
3. Lunch meat/cheese platters to make packing Wyatt and Grace's lunches easy.
4. Financial donations to pay a housekeeper during this time of recovery.  
5. Cards and ongoing flowers to keep her home looking beautiful.  It's so good for the soul.

Journal entry by Colby Nichol

Praise God!! Thank you so very much for your prayers on my behalf... my dr. was impressed with the way my infection looks today. The redness has faded to a light pink, and the tissue is not as full of fluid. He said we are moving in the right direction. Plan for this week- finish the duration of both antibiotics, which end Sunday, and see him Monday Apr 6.  There is no need for more aggressive treatment at this time. Yes!!! 


The text messages, cards, phone calls, facebook and caring bridge messages, meals, offers to grocery shop, and just do anything we may need during this time from my dear friends have helped sustain my spirits. I do not have words that adequately convey my gratitude. 

I have hope and will continue to pray that this infection will be eradicated very soon. My heartfelt appreciation to you all... i pray you stay healthy and safe in mind, body and spirit during the duration of these difficult days ahead of us as a country. 

love and blessings... colby 💛
