Some GREAT news just in about Buffy.  Tom De Lisle reports:

It is my absolute and distinct pleasure to inform everybody ... that Buffy Ford Stewart has been pronounced cancer-free. Yes!  The intestinal tumour that she has been battling over the recent months is GONE.  An examination performed on her this week showed that not only had the tumour shrunk, as we had been hoping for, but it disappeared altogether.

I've just heard that the November tour of Japan is to go ahead as planned.  See Itinerary.

22 October 2001
John has made a habit of producing CDs on his own Neon Dreams label in between his commercial releases.  Many fans believe that these recordings are John's best.  Once or twice a year John will go into the studio with a bunch of new songs and record a special CD for his fans.  Often these CDs have a very limited distribution that usually coincides with one of John's tours.  Fans all over the world have been asking for these great John Stewart CDs to be made more widely available. I am pleased announce that Online Ordering from Neon Dreams is now a part of the Chillywinds web site.

To order, go to www.chillywinds.com/order.html or see the section Ordering CDs at this site.

Just heard from Tom De Lisle re the latest update on Buffy's condition.  He says, "Talked to JS tonight; Buffy has begun her chemo and radiation treatment in the hospital and this is really the beginning of the tough stretch facing our friends.  The next 5 to 6 weeks will be a most challenging and trying time.

I think we all hold our breath as Buffy enters this difficult stage.

27 July 2001
I have just received some unfortunate news from Tom De Lisle stating that John's wife, Buffy, has been diagnosed as having colon cancer.

She has tests next Tuesday and Wednesday on a malignant colon tumor.  Surgery will certainly follow, sooner or later depending on whether the thing has spread 'outside the walls' of the colon.  The best hope, of course, is that it has been contained.  Either way, there will be aggressive treatment, and I'll keep you updated here.
