Hi everyone...thanks as always for all the comments - those positive vibes really help, believe me! As Dallas begins week three he's feeling pretty good. I think he continues to amaze the staff at the cancer clinic - they expect him to feel a lot worse. By all indications he should be flat out by now, but the Big Guy is showing his fighting side! His throat continues to get sorer and swallowing is becoming an issue but he's dealing with it by switching to softer (high fat!) foods. He gained another couple of pounds so everyone is very happy with him - it's like he needs to store up energy for winter. Dallas is also sporting a crooked looking sunburn as they're radiating each side of his face in a different way (they're hitting the left surgery side a lot harder). His physiotherapist is very happy with him as well, so he's scoring A's in all subjects. The staff at the clinic keep warning us that the BIG test will be the last half of his treatment but we're trying to stay positive and are hopeful that he'll surprise them again! More later...
Love, Patty

Keep it up Big D. We won't make it to the coast this fall but are hoping to see you two in Tucson this winter.
