10-13-2009 Pam was very happy she was able to have chemo yesterday. Her white cell count was acceptable, but she does not have an explanation for it. Having chemo this week is very important because we will be traveling from October 19-27 on a cruise to the eastern Caribbean. Pam's oncologist fully supports her travel and he will give her a shot to help stabilize her blood count.

Pam's CT scan has been rescheduled to Friday, October 16th. Since Pam is connected to an infusion chemo pump until tomorrow, rescheduling was the more efficient approach to undergoing the scan.

Pam has been feeling stronger recently. She continues to be active in the church and community choirs and related musical activities.

We believe your prayers and support are responsible for her renewed energy level and Pam' s own determination and optimism to master the cancer. May God bless you all!
