exCiting treatment day

Big changes today. Really big. Rather than receiving her treatment in Pod B, Pam was treated in Pod C. OK, so actually not so big or exciting, but it was a little different. Very crowded, very noisy. We waited alone in the Pod B waiting room for a while when I noticed no one was around. I looked into the treatment room and it was empty. That's when we realized things were different, like we were in the wrong waiting room. Here is a pic of Pam waiting, she could have waited a very long time before hearing her name called. Time flies when you are asleep.

One drug today, in and out in under 5 hrs. Not bad. Amy Crose came for awhile and the two of them discussed a book (again, a book talk...this time it was Deeper, by Debbie Alsdorf). Who talks about books when there is free wi-fi and we brought our laptop? Amy actually ended up at the cancer center longer than Pam. She had a meeting in her car and we saw her still engrossed in it as we left.



And, what are the chances of bumping into Don Bowen at a cancer center? Must be like 1 in 2. Pretty crazy.

Thanks for the continued prayers. Pam isn't feeling fantastic, but not horrible either. Prayers for her have clearly been answered as this chemo could be a far harder experience. Would appreciate prayers that the last 7 (she just finished #5) go as well. By the time she is done, school will be nearly out and it should be warm. Then we'll start asking for prayers concerning radiation.
(If the pictures seem of lesser quality this time it is because it appears I have broken my third camera in 12 months and had to resort to taking pics with my phone.)

Wait a minute! Did Candice send you Deeper? Do you know that it's dedicated to me? I'm so glad Pam has it to read, it's life changing!

Love, Lorri

Pam saw the book on your blog side bar and recommended it to the women in her Bible study. They are cruising through it now and enjoying it DEEPERly. Quite an honor to have a book dedicated to you. Nice.
