11-14-2008 Pam had a chemo treatment on Thursday, the 13th, and she left the office a bit tired. Her hemoglobin count was down from last week, yet not too low to delay the treatment. We certainly are looking for no further decrease in the hemoglobin because that will probably trigger more transfusions. There was no test for cancer markers this week. The doctor will order another test in a couple of weeks when this series of treatments nears completion. The time table for these treatments is indefinite at this time. We remain optimistic for good news. It's just that the negative effect of the chemicals on Pam's energy level is cumulative.

Today, however, Pam is her old self. Three of her closest friends converged at our house for this weekend. These ladies try to get together every year and they wanted to come see Pam this year. So, her friends from Atlanta, New Orleans, and the Dallas area are here to have a great time with no set schedule. Pam is really energized.

We thank you all for your continuing prayers, expressions of hope, and support. These thoughts truly make a positive impact and a great source of comfort to Pam and me.
