This in just now from Ann:

The side effects of chemotherapy and radiation have begun.  I am frequently nauseated and have already vomited.  No one can attribute it to either chemotherapy or radiation.  They give me drugs to help.  Prayers also help.

Thanks 

Ann

 Ann's message this morning: I have had the nasogastric tube in for a day.  For some reason it seems to sit better in the left side of my nose  than the right.  While it was out, there were a series of tests, measurements, etc. out of concern for what the tube would restrict.  Our team of doctors are very competent and efficient.  My one critical comment is that they talk to each other but not to me!  Yesterday I was anemic and had low sodium levels,  Apparently, cancer will bleed even if not provoked.  It also stops bleeding too!

Her mother could only afford a second-hand school uniform for her, but it clearly identified her as going to the grammar school, leading to some harassment by the neighbourhood children. Nevertheless, she did well, encouraged by her teachers, and fascinated by the new worlds she was learning about. Even then church was important to her, and she was nurtured by members of Saint Barnabas Church where she learned about the love and mercy of God. When she was about four years old, she was cared for by some nurses wh

  From Jack today: We need help caring for Ann Passmore when Janet returns to teaching in late August. This would involve about 20 hours a week, at $15/hour, between 10 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday, the exact times to be negotiated.  The location is at 715 Montgomery St, Fredericton, N.B  E3B 2X7.  Ann is continent but frail and requires help moving from the bed to the wheelchair, walker, toilet, commode, etc.  She needs joyful, but gentle, encouragement, support, and plenty of TLC.  Please send a short CV that includes references, past experiences and qualities that relate to the job, to Naomi Phillips at  receptionist@bsbc.nb.ca
