The Mayo docs were not able to place the stent in Ginny's colon today. There is just too much scar tissue and "kinks" in her plumbing. We are turning our attention to Wednesday and the pain pump. Next week she will start chemo.
As for the plumbing, she will continue to take her "movement" meds and we will hope the chemo stops the bastard tumor. Eventually a colostomy will have to be attempted. This is a scary and difficult option. The doc today said he does not envy the doc that will have to tackle her colostomy. Argh!
Forward we go.

Dr Nelson, the head of that department did my colon surgery this year. She's good, and I think Gin would like her, when she's ready. In the meantime if I can help in any way, let me know
