That there is some relief at the end of all you have been thru is truly good news!
That the Barrett's is going to be 'zapped' is well beyond super too! I read about a paper from some docs in your area and well....almost forwarded it to you? But then I figgered it was either YOUR docs or others [and I didn't want to get false hopes up] Obviously, you got THE DOCS! Hot Diggity! and other great words!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm kind of confused about your port tho? Why can't these nurses 'use' it? DUH? Has the port been flushed out properly monthly like it should be after all or inbetween all else that you've gone thru? That could be a problem and one you should bring up loudly to each and every doc you see! I mean, the whole purpose of the port was to make all this other stuff easier, wasn't it?
Gee whiz, life can get soo much more complex than we ever planned for sure! But you are a true testament to Sticking it OUT! And winning to boot! Even tho you don't feel like it now? You are definititely a WINNER in my book!

Hugs and good things in HUGE heaps and SOON to you good person 's - j
