6/5/2009 Pam had her third round of chemo with the 5FU protocols this week. She is getting used to the two days of being hooked to a portable infusion pump for residual chemo. Pam's blood pressure was elevated this week This was something that had not been a problem since she started chemo months ago. A new prescription for blood pressure was ordered by her regular physician and the medication has had effective results. All the other vital signs have been positive-no weight loss, no stomach bloating, a bit more energy, and a good outlook.
This will be a family weekend. Our eldest grandson graduates from high school tonight, another grandson has a birthday party on the 5th, and we have a graduation party on the 6th. All 7 Florida grandchildren will be here.

Pam has been overwhelmed with the expressions of support, prayers and encouragement from friends and people she does not know personally. She is looking to the time she'll be able to return to more normal activities which she loves regardless of the cancer.
