Nicole, I know I told you before - but what a formidable human being you are. Never met someone like you before. Very glad you're home. I love and admire you. Big Hugs. ❤

[@jackiejones7171]

Nicole.. I remember when we were running a toy drive at the dental office. I don’t even think the campaign email was sent out for even an hour before you pulled up in front of the office, got out of the car, ran inside, threw some moola my way for the toy drive and ran back out. You’re the best! ❤️ love seeing your face every week. Can’t imagine how scary it feels for you and all that you’ve been through these last few weeks. Thank you for always being you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@terri5757]

I’m so happy you are home Nicole. Thank you for taking the time to come to our Sunday chat. I love your little girl. I bet she is a lot of company. Continued love and prayers my friend. 🙏❤️🙏

[@carolw5247]

Thank you for your honesty. You are making a difference in so many lives, with cancer or not.

[@daviddownie5594]

Glad you are in the comfort of your own home! I totally understand your fears. I’ve had serious heart problems from birth and throughout my life have experienced that fear of not being able to catch your breath! My thoughts are with you and may your fears be lessened every day!! ❤

[@joanbeach644]

Hi Nicole, so happy to see you. I’m sure you will handle the oxygen like a pro. I love your pup. 🐶 So glad also they gave you a new port. You are in my thoughts and prayers my friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@Tracey-2024]

I've been thinking so much about you... hoping you were doing even a little better. I'm so glad to know you're home. I wish I could say something that might help your fears. Please know that you're in my thoughts, my prayers, and my heart. Take it one moment at a time. ❤

[@susanzucker7674]

Oh well oxygen is no biggy! You are HOME!!!!!

[@kenhamaker]

My Grand mother had Stage 4 Lung cancer. I was lucky to spend so much time with her before she left, and at the end she was peaceful, but I was tore up, I didn't let her see me breakdown. I have so much respect for you Nicole, you have fought like hell and you managed to do it with an infectious smile. I send you sincere love and I can tell you I will never forget you. I appreciate you putting yourself out there to help others, you inspire people to fight like hell ❤. Just much love and respect ❣️

[@jojoFranklin]

Beautiful Nicole. So glad that you are at home. Your glitter stomping light is shining bright … and always will be. We love you (both). X

[@leylag1466]

I am not the only one that has been checking several times today if Nicole has dropped another video. Am I? Hope you are well, Nicole.

[@sallyostling]

Morphine actually helps when you are panicking when you feel like you can't catch your breath. Seems like an odd medication choice, but it's true. It's good to see you home!

[@DavidH-ve4fm]

Yes, very effective for that purpose.

[@isabellecostes6858]

Il me tardait d'avoir de vos nouvelles !!! Très heureuse de savoir que vous êtes à la maison 🏡 ça doit être très angoissant de ne pas pouvoir respirer "normalement". Je vous envoie beaucoup d'amour et tous mes encouragements pour vous remettre de cette pneumonie. A la semaine prochaine. Je vous embrasse très fort ❤️

[@madgrace7992]

Hi Nicole. So nice to see you at home but I totally understand your fear. I’m sorry it is so hard. I hope you can feel more comfortable with it. I’m sure it is also so upsetting after being such an active healthy person. Damn cancer 🤬 Sending you a big gentle hug. Love to you, your wife and that sweet Tilly of yours. See you next Sunday 🩵🧡💛🩷

[@christineprice-c6e]

Hi Nicole great to see you again, love your guard dog they are so comforting when times get ruff. Of course your frightened how wouldn't be, hang in there and get plenty of rest, good luck for the coming week. See you next Sunday. With lots of love Christine 🇬🇧. Xxxx❤

[@booboobear5710]

I'm so glad to see you back home. I've thought about you so many times this past week and sent you energies of love and compassion. Great news on getting a new port. Just stay present and feel the power of love all around you ❤

[@LoraleiMarr]

So glad you are out of that hospital! You might want to play with how your cannula is positioned. There's a learning curve, and when you wear glasses, there's now something extra competing with the space behind your ears. Try to use relaxation techniques when you are scared. You are one strong woman, and you are surrounded by love and good vibes from people you've never met.

[@chi4life61]

Hi Nicole ❤God Bless You🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻 thank you for always updating us 🌸

[@marieyttreness9000]

You are very thoughtful to think of us during your illness. We are all here cheering for you, and we all love you.

[@bobs1356]

She starting to get bad now. You can see the change.

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

You're at home with your loved ones. That's the most wonderful thing in the world. I wish I could somehow make you feel better. I do have moderate-to-severe chronic asthma. So, on some level, I can relate to your current fear of not being able to catch your breath. And yes, it really does suck....I just know you are loved, and you're receiving good care. From what I can see, you've been winning at the tough game of living a meaningful life for many years now. You've expertly embraced the rules of being happy and sharing your happiness by helping others in need. And don't you ever start feeling that this damn cancer has dampened or ever will dampen your achievements. You will always be a champion to me and many many others. ❤

[@songbird5266]

Sending so, so much love. 🕊Peace and comfort to you, Nicole.

[@tinacollins2055]

[@DavidH-ve4fm]

It is completely normal to feel afraid and anxious when there are breathing difficulties. Your team will provide what is needed to help that sensation if needed. As ever, much love coming to you from every direction.

[@rightmadmod9416]

Wooohooo! I’m very happy you’re home. The oxygen will help you feel better. I appreciate your dignity and class through it all.

[@lucyfritz3232]

Glad you are home. Good you got a new doorbell (port). Normal to feel anxious when you’re short of breath and needing oxygen. Trouble breathing can cause anxiety and anxiety can cause a feeling of air hunger. If you can break the cycle with meds (morphine works great and/or Ativan) it will help both the breathing and the anxiety. Hugs to you, Gaby, and your cute guard dog. 🌈🦄✨☮️💟

[@Barbara-ch3qf]

Hi Nicole, you look much better now that you’re home, even if it has to be with the added oxygen. Just believe you’re lungs will heal and you won’t need the oxygen forever. Pneumonia is rough especially. On top of everything else. Glad you’ll have follow up with the pulmonologist soon. That should reassure you. One of my close relatives was in the ICU for quite a stint with pneumonia. She was discharged with oxygen too. I fretted till the machine got set up since they’d sent us home with a tank! It all worked very well for her and sort of sank into the background as she got stronger and eventually didn’t need it. Sending healing energy your way!

[@Catlady12341]

No place like home!!! Love your face….peace and love 💜🌈💜🌈💜🌈

[@Shebbie68]

Hoping your appointments go well and the fear reduces, and you get some relief.

[@caroltardif5999]

Glad to see you back at home. Continue to send hugs and prayers❤🙏❤️

[@lnewbury1]

You are home sister! That’s what matters most. I cannot even begin to imagine the fear. I’ve never been tested with that. But I know you will figure it out and all will be well. Rest and save your energy. Good luck with the doc appts coming up. Cheers!

[@sandimartin8394]

So thankful you are home. Sending you good and positive vibes. I love you Nicole

[@Mooches33]

Glad you’re home and surrounded by love. Continued prayers.

[@EmmaBakesCakes]

Yay our warrior queen is home. Nicole sweetie, if having some oxygen helps and gets you home then please don’t be scared, you have had good care at the hospital and you have a wonderful wife and little dog to keep you company and care for you. Thank you for the update, we appreciate you. Sending love and healing ❤

[@lindseyhavniear4548]

I’ve never made a comment but I’ve been watching you for a few years. I am praying mercifully that you recover so incredibly fast and you can be your energetic self once again. All my love and prayers for this difficult season. ❤

[@KMD2832]

Thanks for the update :) Amazing that you are making the effort to do a video, even though you are finding it hard to catch your breath……I think that speaks volumes of who you are as a person, ❤. Glad that you are home and with your family, and I hope that as you adjust to this different set up with the oxygen the fear lessens. Sending my thoughts to you and your family.

[@MK-agirlwhosmissunderstood]

Hi Nicole! So glad to see you home! ❤I wanted to say that you have made such a positive impact in my life as I'm sure there are other people on here who can say the same! I wanted to let you know that your style is refreshing! Your glasses are your signature and I just recently went and had my eyes checked. I saw a pair of black octagon shaped glasses and thought of you! I said oh my gosh this looks just like what Nicole would wear! I ended up getting them. ❤❤ Sending love to you from NYC!

[@anacena275]

I hope you're not in any pain... It's good to see you here, again, 😢 be strong like you've been, up to now. Be strong, can't say it enough... We will all stop breathing over day .. do it gracefully, we love you ❤

So glad that your home were your more comfortable. She’s guarding her mom.🙏🏻🤗❤️🙏🏻

[@heidi1651]

I'm glad you're home, Nicole. Go easy and rest as needed, trusting you are loved and held. ❤

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Being on oxygen at home is better than being in hospital. You have your wife and dog with you. Taking time to do a video is appreciated. Having fear is natural. You have the oxygen, let yourself rest and trust that the levels will be sufficient for you to not have the feeling of suffocation which terrified you. There's not a lot happening in my life just now but if you can imagine miles of sandy beach with the tide out, and rain battering down, that was my walk today.

[@scrappyrap9903]

Nicole you have been in my prayers I’m so happy your home! I always look forward to Sundays cuz of you! ❤❤

[@mindsinsane]

What a lovely relief to see that you are well enough to be home. Fear is absolutely normal to be honest I'd be worried if you weren't scared. Thinking of you so very much. Love always xx

[@micheleoconnell8749]

Nicole, I’m so happy you are home in pleasant surroundings but I understand how being alone with your oxygen is frightening. Remember help is always just a phone call away. You have done so much and been an inspiration to so many. I have such admiration and love for you. You feel like an old friend. Be well my warrior friend.

[@fififirestone3787]

Sending out Glitter Warrior prayers for Nicole to be surrounded by peace and love right now and for all of her fears to be lifted. I wonder if having hospice come by the house everyday would help lessen some of your fears? I'm glad your puppy and your love are with you and I hope you can feel the love from all of us who have followed you for years and consider you a friend. We're with you. Hoping for an easier week. Much love.

[@DebMoon17]

Great to see you at home Nicole ❤️. Lots to manage with O2 at home so no doubt you’ve got lots of help. Grateful you’ve used your precious breath on us at the moment. I totally get the fear must be scary. Big hug ⭕️❌🌈.

[@Lin-id9qc]

Glad you made it home I don't usually leave comments but you had pneumonia it could take weeks to months for your lungs to heal. You are sitting there hyperventilating every second a shallow breath .just relax let your body heal. Feel better soon!

[@carolescharacters]

So happy you made it home Nicole, I can’t even begin to imagine how it must feel to be relying on oxygen it most certainly must feel scary 😟 Thank you so much for thinking of us as always. Sending so much love and positive energy your way 🩷🌈

I’m so glad you are home, Nicole. I know the oxygen isn’t “ideal,” but if it allows you to be home, it is worth it. Thank you for taking time for our Sunday chats. It’s so good to see you every week.

Nicole, I'm happy to see that you made it home. If I could take away your fear, I would. I'm wishing you peace of mind and better lungs, my friend.

[@leylag1466]

Welcome home, Nicole. Yet another situation, another challenge you and your wife have to face. Lots of things that you have been going through for the past months. Not that you weren’t before either but these past months seem particularly difficult. It must be so scary having to depend on a machine for oxygen. Your brain is probably constantly spinning around the countless things that can go wrong. Remember it was the same with your chemo pump. At the beginning your port had freaked you out so badly. You were scared of every move, every step. Fearing that you might get tangled and the port would be pulled out. Getting your chemo through a pump at home. I don’t know if this is comparable but it reminded me of that time. You are a resilient woman, a strong individual. So far you have always found a way to overcome even the most difficult obstacles and find a way to adapt and adjust. I don’t want you to have difficulty breathing or be dependent on a machine. But I am glad, you are home. That you have help to breathe. I believe that you will gain trust in the machine and yourself in this process as well. You shouldn’t have to go through this but I know you will get control over this too. It seems like your world is getting more confined. Mobility with the leg, ability to eat with the lower jaw collaps, now the breathing. You have been through so much. You were so sick at the beginning. Nobody thought you could get through another 6 months. 5 years later you are here. Please keep that in mind. None of these things mean it’s permanent. If anyone knows that, it’s you. Pep talk yourself like you have been. The fat lady isn’t singing and Elvis hasn’t left the building. I’m sending you a your wife lots of love and prayers. You are in my thoughts.

[@wendymichiko]

Damn straight you’ll be stronger! 👊🏼 Your sweet Tilly girl, lying beside you for emotional support. You hang in there darlin, your community is cheering you on!!

[@iSheree]

I know how you are feeling Nicole you are not alone. You will adapt. I was born disabled and my health has worsened over time with multiple chronic and life threatening illnesses. Now I have cancer too. Each time my health gets worse, I adapt! You are managing this as well as you can, thanks to your positive attitude and rainbow glitter warriors. 🌈✨ It is okay and totally normal and expected to be upset and scared. I love how your dog is there for you, my cats are the same I nearly always have a cat on my bed taking care of me. ❤

[@ursulakoriath5133]

Oh dearest Nicole, I wish I could give you the biggest hug ever and take away your fear. Feelings of suffocation or not getting enough air is absolutely terrifying. Trust that you have plenty of oxygen, all the oxygen you ever need for you to breathe deeply and to heal. Say it to yourself over and over again. Try to meditate to bring calm and reassurance that all is well, that the oxygen flows freely with every breath you take. You are home, you can relax, you are not alone, help is always a call away. You are surrounded by love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your fear with us, for being you. You are the most beautiful soul. A big virtual hug and always having you in our thoughts and prayers. Much love from Munich Germany 🌈❤️🕊️❤️🌈

[@the_original_t]

Hi Nicole and Tilly. It's lovely to see you both. I'm glad there is a way you can be home. I bet it feels uncertain with the whole new oxygen thing. It sounds like your team is pretty good, so I am looking to them to make sure you are heard and anything you need, they can do. Ports rule the school. It's true. And when is clogged and they fix it, it's heaven. Tiny magical gateways, they are. And you, you wonderful and magical as ever. Coming to fill us in. To share space and time. It's so appreciated. I appreciate YOU. I think of you and I throw my fabulous bouncy ball of rainbow light over to the fence to you. That way you can get a game or Rainbow Volleyball going! May you ease into a comfortable space and find a new groove where you are. Sending love and a feeling of true safety. Mwahs to you! Catch up soon! XOXO T

[@queenbuzybee4074]

[@catherinelhomme1987]

Happy to see you are home ….. praying for you 🙏🙏🙏

[@karenbutnotthatkaren5528]

At this point in my life, the debilitating feeling of fear might bother me even more than the breathing difficulties. Please know I don't say this lightly, as both episodes of suffocation and being on my deathbed are a part of my history. I do so understand why you are feeling that way, but fear stole so much of my life as a child and beyond that I see it now only as a destructive force, unless being driven by our intuition to keep us safe from immediate, potential danger. Out of respect for what you are enduring and knowing your own inner strength, I now commit to even deeper soul searching with the intent of untangling and eradicating any remaining roots tied to fear, whether directly health-related or not. Thank you for the update and the usual honesty you bring. May ease soon return to your life. ☯️🌟💜 Karen

[@mamitachichi]
