1-6-2009 Pam's abdominal area was drained of 5.5 liters of fluid yesterday. That is a quick way to lose more than 10 pounds, yet Pam is doing much better than she has over the past few days.
She is looking forward to her February 2nd consultation with the doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering. This will be a preliminary visit to permit a second opinion as to the nature of the cancer and treatment plans. We do not know how long the assessment will take, but we will only be at the clinic that one day. We will make as many followup trips to New York as necessary to implement more effective means to fight the cancer.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Pam feels strong enough to resume working with the children's choir this week. She is certainly a woman of faith and optimism.
