8-21-2008 Pam's blood test yielded cancer markers higher than her previous test. Her doctor was not overly concerned but he indicated that a similar increase in the markers at the next test would necessitate a change in chemicals. The next blood test will come after the next chemo treatment on September 4th.

Meanwhile, Pam relaxed and took life easy earlier this week while Tropical Storm Fay stayed around. Our yard swales were overflowing and neighborhood intersections were flooded and impassable. We were literally restricted to our house, which was not threatened by water. Pinecrest Lakes dried out somewhat today and Pam was able to leave for treating patients.

We thank you for your continued prayers and support.
