Lovely Stanford Cancer Center....

What a light and lovely place! As you enter, there is a huge, two level room, with a grand piano and these three wonder pieces of art. There is light everywhere. I tried to take pictures that didn't show the light but I guess that is part of its charm (what an excuse!!!). You can see the lights of the dappled leaves through the windows. Look at that beautiful wooden floor. Often there is someone playing the grand piano.

This is the hall that leads the Pancreatic Cancer Center. We have heard it will soon be called the Patrick Swayze Pancreatic Center, as the family donated a lot of money in his honor. Word also has it that Steve Jobs is being treated here. So much for name-dropping! There is a rather modern but comfortable waiting room at the end of the hall and coffee, tea and cocoa. 

I love these pictures which were done by an African woman. Each pictures has information next to it, telling about the author and the style, but we were in a bit of a hurry.

This is such a sweet botanical! No matter what I did, I still got that leafy window light and the shadow of me taking the picture. See me in there?

Pleasant, huh? I hadn't noticed until today how many pictures have shades of orange and blue. Very cheerful. 

If you are really lucky, you will hear the harpist. What an soothing sound. If you are really, really lucky, you will see the masseuse and get a fifteen minute neck massage. I was not that lucky today but what a wonderful offering! Look at those beautiful wooden floors again.

The waiting rooms are around the entire building and face outdoors so you feel surrounded by beautiful flowering trees and plants.

We go to our first appointment at 11:20, in about two and a half hours. Please send prays our way, if you are able. I pray that I will be able to accept "what is" and live it the best I can. Of course, I would love a miracle!!!

It is so nice to be in surroundings like this when you are under stress. I am really grateful to all of the people who donated to make this possible and I am especially grateful to all of you for supporting me so kindly this last four months.
