Another Road Trip

So we're going to hit the road again tomorrow - this time we'll take the Washington State Ferry from Sidney and see where it leads us. We'll explore Anacortes, Whidbey Island and then stay in La Conner. Hopefully, I can keep the Big Guy busy and his mind off the upcoming surgery for part of the weekend anyway. Thanks again for all the support! More later...

Just thought that I would add another picture of THE FISH in case you missed it the first time!

Dallas is really missing the Club Championship- especially now that you guys have started posting your scores. Good Luck!

We're looking forward to our company that's arriving today - Mark and Kathy (as well as puppy Roly) from Invermere. More later...

More of the "C" Word Stuff...

Today was one of the rougher cancer ones again. We found out that Dallas has been referred to a Radiation Oncologist so that means that there will probably be some radiation therapy in his future. Although our surgeon is one of the best in his field his communication skills are somewhat lacking so this kind of hit us sideways - we thought that radiation was just a maybe thing - not a for sure. On the positive side I guess this means that they are going to do their best to get rid of every nick of cancer and that's a good thing. Dallas has also been booked in for another biopsy of his neck - this time they will focus on his thyroid. There was a small spot there and although it wasn't showing up as cancer on the PET scan, the doctor wants to be sure. The biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Tonight we're looking forward to a birthday dinner for Heather, Marcus's girlfriend. It should be lots of fun - she's a wonderful girl. Take care...

More Fishing!

Hi all,
Thanks for the posts - so nice to hear from everyone. The boys went out fishing again today and caught a couple of cod so it was another great day on the water! Dallas says he's trying to stock up our freezer for when everyone starts visiting after his surgery. Remember our B & B is always open. More later...

The Fishermen!

Thanks so much for all the emails, calls and visits...your support has been amazing and really helps us get through these long days. At least now the countdown to surgery is on and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel (or at least the entrance to the tunnel anyway). Our friend Joan suggested that a blog might be a great way to communicate with everyone so here goes! We'll give it a whirl and I'll try to keep you all updated at the same time - amazing technology!

This week was a great one as far as cancer weeks go...we finally got some GOOD NEWS!! Dallas's PET scan results are back and his cancer is just on the left side of his neck. We were crying happy tears when we got the news. Now the surgery is less than two weeks away and Dallas can focus on that and not worry that the cancer is travelling around other parts of his body. We're also confident in Dallas's surgeon. We've checked him out and he's the best in his field - more good news.

Dallas and Jordan had a GREAT day today. This morning they went fishing and caught a 26 lb. salmon! It was so much fun to see them both proudly grinning ear to ear that I had to share the moment with all of you.
