Still Living the Dream

Nightmares are dreams too.

It has been a week since Pam was given the treatment options. She has diligently spent this week praying about and considering what she should do. And she still is not sure. The first time through cancer was really hard and yet easier than this time. Emotions are a much bigger factor and experience is causing Pam to contemplate her next move very carefully. She made a couple of doctor changes this week in preparation for the potential chemotherapy that is looming. So without making the final decision, she is still moving forward toward chemotherapy.

I am not sure when Pam will make the final decsion. She meets with a couple key doctors early next week, so that might help. She will also be rescheduling the surgery to put the mediport into her chest (that was originally to have been done two days ago, but was cancelled). Thanks for praying for her at this very trying time.

The Simply Women magazine shown here is from Jan. 05. The photo of Pam and her mom Flo was taken just a couple days before Pam's hair fled the scene. It was also just short of two weeks into her first chemotherapy. I wrote a little about that (click) here. Some of you may recall that Pam had long brown hair originally. After chemo it came back very dark, but then magically got lighter and lighter as it grew longer. This week I put in a request for her hair to be returned to something closer to her original manufacturers specs. And much to my surprise it happened. A photo is coming soon.
