Jess Update

From Jo

April has been a busy month for our champ! She met with her oncologist last week and had a great visit! Jaws dropped at St Agnes when they saw how good she looked. They were amazed with how energetic and vibrant she was and with how long her hair has become. It is so curly! I think I might start calling her “Curly!” Since I am Jo she might call me “Mo” and we can be two of the three stooges.  Her oncologist told her to keep up the great work. The other doctors and nurses were so happy to see her. They had missed her so much. The chemo lab always had a much better feel when she was there. I remember the nurses always putting her next to patients who needed more encouragement.

St Agnes called Jess two weeks ago to see if she could put together a list of her regimen so other patients could see it. They want Jess to share what she eats, her vitamin plan/schedule, exercise regimen and any other tips for success. It is such a blessing to be able to give back.

Jess has had several holistic dental appointments this month. Many people are slowed in the healing process if they have had mercury dental work. She is getting rid of any and all dental materials that could lead to the release of toxins. We are leaving no stone unturned! Also, Jess was not allowed to have any dental work over the last two years until now.

This week she is getting her port flushed and is making a plan for removal. It causes her a lot of pain and makes for awkward conversations when kids see it! Jess always has a funny response when asked.  Blood work at St Agnes is coming up before she goes to DC to see a special doctor about another scan that has no radiation involved. Please continue to pray for great results, encouragement, strength for each day in doing her regimen, etc.

Next month we are going to the Believe Big Dinner on May 10th, hosted by Ivelisse Page. We will get to learn about the groundbreaking mistletoe trial at Johns Hopkins, hear stories from cancer patients and more.

Thank you for helping Jess Fight Back and WIN!
