My dear sweet Friend, Naomi Tholen, and her loving family need continuous prayers right now. Naomi has been battling an extremely aggressive Stage 4 type of abdominal cancer. For more than a year now, she has endured intense pain along with numerous brutal medical procedures, treatments and chemotherapy. During it all, she has kept such an inspiring positive selfless attitude and an unwavering trust in God. She is enduring whatever it takes to have as much time as she can with her amazing husband, Jason, and her awesome teenagers, Oscar and Rogue.
Today, Naomi was set to undergo a very complicated HIPEC surgery to remove her gallbladder, appendix, uterus, cecum & omentum. They were going to attempt to remove her largest tumors and run heated chemotherapy all through her abdomen. The goal of this major surgery was to improve her quantity/quality of life while battling this horrible terminal cancer.
Unfortunately, the surgery today did not go as planned because when the surgeons opened her up, they found that her cancer has spread far beyond what they had seen in her scans. The surgeons did remove her gallbladder but they said with the amount of cancer she is fighting, removing anything else would be too hard on her body. They did administer the hot chemotherapy during the surgery and she will follow up with her oncologist as she continues to fight despite the unexpected findings during surgery today.
2025 has not been kind to the Tholen family - they have had many major financial hits extending beyond Naomi's battle with this horrible cancer. The last thing they need to be concerned about right now is finances so we are humbly asking for your assistance to help them during this rough time. We greatly appreciate your continuous prayers and any financial assistance you are able to provide to the Tholen family. Wishing you all God’s blessings now and always! Thank you so much!
