Support for Nicole (Regina) Grimm

Onalaska, WA

Story

I was diagnosed with cancer in August 2025 and will be doing chemo and radiation treatment from November through next spring. Many people have generously asked how they can help support me. Pi came up with the idea to use this platform for communicating my needs. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with your offers to help. As a single person with no family close by it has meant more than I can say.


Special Notes

I’m not sure yet what help I’ll need with, so it will change over time. I might need rides starting in January to treatment. I will need help maintaining my house and I already have a house cleaner who I would like to come more frequently, as I can afford. Or direct help doing light cleaning is welcome. For food, I’m not going to have much of an appetite. I live too far in the boonies for local restaurant delivery like Doordash. A keto friendly food delivery service or home made food are great. I expect to be needing support with this later in the treatment and not right now. Although I won’t have much of an appetite I don’t mind eating the same thing for several meals in a row. For food preferences I’m supposed to avoid spicy foods and cold foods. Also, I am trying to support the treatment with strategic food choices because I think food can be healing. Along those lines I’m trying to stay very low carb to help starve the cancer of sugar (its preferred food source is glucose). Soups with a broth base are great. I like all kinds of soups, and bone broths with lots of gel potential. I’m also using a lot of fresh ginger, garlic, turmeric, herbs, black pepper, coconut milk/coconut oil. I love asian flavors or traditional herbs like thyme, tarragon, basil, etc. Also I never met a vegetable I don’t like. So creativity with veggies is great, just not raw because of the “nothing cold” rule. For fund raising, early next year I’m supposed to go to Los Angeles for a special type of radiation treatment. I could use help covering the extra expenses for pet sitting (one dog and five cats). Or perhaps someone to do pet sitting? Also, for travel costs. Thank you to everyone reading this and offering to help me!
