7/22/08- Pam had an EKG and blood tests in preparing for the surgery for the port.

7/25/08-Pam's first chemotherapy treatment completed. She had no ill effects and felt fairly well after the 3-4 hours of treatment. Our son, David, came in from Orlando to check on Pam and get first hand reports of Pam's condition.

7/27/08-The lower abdominal pain and nausea developed and kept Pam at home and resting for the day. Two daughters and two grandsons cleaned floors, patios, dishes, and laundry to help out Pam. This assistance was spontaneous on the part of the boys and they were eager and effective.

7/29/08-Pam felt much better and treated several patients. She is determined to be upbeat during this time.
