Joane spent most of the day with Dr. Grice in Seattle, enduring more cat scans and being poked and prodded. We have good news. He believes she has a low-grade, smoldering infection which has resulted in the "tunnel" internally. Basically, there will be no IP chemo - ever. We are at peace with that and have taken the position that we are continuing to be spirit-led in this whole process and that she is not supposed to have toxic chemicals infused into her belly. We believe she will heal faster and better without it. This is validated by Dr. Grice saying he has never seen this many problems with an IP port. Some relief in that arena.
It gets better. Dr. Grice believes she will heal from this infection WITHOUT surgery at this point. He will re-examine her in three weeks to see if that is true and we will go from there.
The IP port will be removed when she is stable and the infection cleared up.
Many thanks to Sharon Allen for driving Joanne down there and back, and to Kathleen for being with them during the M.D. visit. Joanne was well cared-for.
So, it looks like Joanne has only one more chemo infusion next week - and she is DONE!!
She is exhausted and weary, and so am I. We are celebrating!

God Bless and All is Good. Rest well, and keep the faith, and dream well. Am rubbing my special "Joanne Stone" with focused prayers for healing and the best, best and highest and best in all facets of this experience. I'm glad to hear my intuitions this a.m. are reiterated, and that's regarding zero IP chemo, for now and always. Looking forward to hearing this latest lil' bug is G-o-n-e.
Big hugs,
Tess and Z

Yeah! No port! No more chemo! I got that the port wasn't working because it wasn't needed. Didn't communicate that to either of you, but KNEW it was true. Joanne's a-healin'! It's not a question. Just a matter of time, rest and much love...coming your way from so many directions. I continue to send mine and hope to be in touch very soon. Love, light and many many blessings to you both, Betsy
Love, light and healing to all.
May our latest bits of blue sky and sun be infusing you both with Source NRG, as the Moon, too, is giving its rays this week. Blessings to you both, and vitality reigns supreme. Hugs, Tess and Z
