Support Steve Nicoletti Against Cancer!
Donation protected
Hi, We're Paul & Jen De Luisa~
We are the owners of Luisa's Pizza and very close friends of Steve & Cindy Nicoletti. Steve has been a part of Luisa's for 3 years and a longtime friend of our family. We have watched him battle through pancreatic cancer and recently has had a serious setback in his health.
We are asking for your prayers and generosity at this difficult time. As business owners we are asking the community to come together for the Nicoletti family.
We ask you for your continued prayers as we walk this journey together.
Matthew 25: 35-40
Sincerely,
Paul & Jen De Luisa
Steve Is Holistically Fighting Pancreatic Cancer
Steve was diagnosed in July 2022 with terminal pancreatic cancer with a 3–6-month chance to live. He opted out of all Western medicine (chemo, radiation & Whipple surgery) and decided quality over quantity of life was what he would choose.
As Steve and his wife Cindy researched a holistic approach, they found several protocols that were not covered by their medical insurance since holistic treatments are not part of the plan. They had sold their business of 21 years in May 2022 and believe this was the first sign that someone was watching over them. They infused all the funds from their sale of their business and from a fundraiser the community put together for them headed by some very close friends and 14 months later, Steve is still here fighting.
They were faced with expenses that surpassed their medical insurance. The treatments that Steve hopes to continue are very costly. They have now exhausted all funds from a lifetime of 21 years in business in holistic treatments. They have seen positive results with these treatments and pray that they can continue in this direction.
In July 2023, just a few months ago Steve developed intestinal ulcers as many of even the holistic treatments and supplements have taken a toll on his body and how it functions. He has been unable to move his bowels due to impacted bowels for almost two months and has been mostly bedridden.
Steve has been recently going to Antidote Wellness Therapies in Trevor Wisconsin for colonic treatments to empty his bowels, so he does not become septic from this. He recently began IV Infusions there as well because he is no longer able to eat much since he cannot flush it through his body on his own and these infusions assure he is getting the vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements needed to stay alive.
HIS PAIN LEVEL HAS BEEN AT A 10 OR MORE SINCE EARLY AUGUST.
He recently was hospitalized at St Lukes in Milwaukee, and they did a celiac block to control some of the pain, but it did not work. They also pumped him with narcotics to control the pain which slowed his organs down to almost a state of needing hospice. This has taken a toll on Steve’s ability to fight, and he also is no longer absorbing the meds that he was placed on in the past two months for his ulcers and prostate which is now enlarged. This is why he needs to return to holistic protocols as the Western medicines are quickly shutting his body down.
His doctor has recommended hospice to manage the pain since his cancer numbers are now out of normal range after 10 months of being in range. Hospice may be put this in place for a safety measure while he is fighting this setback since he does have a terminal diagnosis. Steve would like to continue to fight for as much time as possible.
His wife Cindy’s business, Celebrate Our Town builds communities and supports local businesses. For over 21 years as self-employed business owners, this has been Steve & Cindy’s life mission, giving to their communities needs and always donating financially, physically, emotionally, and most importantly prayerfully. They have made and still make a huge difference in the local communities, and they are the first ones to organize and promote needed fundraisers for others. Their lives have been dedicated to helping others.
Cindy must continue to support their household as well as Steve’s mounting financial needs as they pursue and continue the holistic route and maintain their household needs. This requires a substantial amount of funds they no longer have as they have exhausted Steve’s cancer fund.
The holistic treatments that Steve will continue to receive will be through Antidote Wellness Therapies in Trevor, Wisconsin, the holistic rife and ozone therapies in Kenosha, Wisconsin and holistic Medicinals that have proven successful on his journey,
Not only are they amazing business owners, but amazing people.
We have the opportunity to fight alongside Steve & Cindy by donating any amount. Whatever you can give will help and is really appreciated.
We would appreciate your support by sharing this information with others so that together we can fight with Steve and Cindy and help make a difference in their lives!
