Janet, Mum, Grandy (JMG) is very comfortable in a hospital bed in Tessa’s house.

As some of you know she has decided to forgo chemotherapy.

The final scans before she left the hospital showed that her liver was 95% taken over by tumors.

The oncologists we consulted said that chemo, or other attempts at therapy, would only prolong the inevitable for a short time, and even if they did provide some diminution of the tumors, would leave her sick, miserable, and much weaker for the effort.

She pointedly talked about the suffering of old friends, and her mother, who suffered miserable ends due to radical intervention.

She is no pain, and is enjoying having the family around her.  Her good friends Paul and Lonnie Hinchey, and Betsy Stephens, have come to visit, and we had a very nice dinner with them.  Lot’s of Bob Marley and good wine.  No medical marijuana…. yet.
