Therapy Centre

Sheldon and I wanted to be proactive before Penn started treatment. We would often visit the “therapy centre”. We never referred to it as the hospital because Penn would often get stressed when we even said the word. We got some great resources from Penn’s medical team, which included a radiation therapy video about a girl named Jenny. Penn was able to ask us any questions so there were no surprises. I think it also helped that Jenny looks a bit like Penn!

The staff at Tom Baker have been fabulous. They try their best to relieve Penn’s anxiety and to make sure she’s comfortable. On our way to the therapy centre, Penn was adamant that she wear her Cinderella dress. How could we say no? You could only imagine the number of hearts she melted at the therapy centre upon arrival and departure.

Penn has accumulated quite the collection of stuffed animals.

Ready for her visit to the Tom Baker.
