Hi everyone...by now many of you have probably heard our latest news - Dallas has to have another surgery because some of the same cancer has shown up in his thyroid. We were devastated - but as usual Dallas is rising to the challenge. He's thinking that since there was always a "spot" showing on his thyroid that the cancer may have been there for a bit. He's also pretty sure that the chemo and radiation have already given the cancer a serious kick in the pants. The doctors had a difficult time finding the cancer cells this time which makes us think that there really aren't many left. We're hopeful that this will be the end of our cancer experience and that after this surgery we can get on with our lives.
Dallas's operation is scheduled for January 20th so I'll be sure to update you on his progress. There's a slim chance that he could get called in for his surgery over the holidays but we're not holding our breath. Thank you so much for all the support that you've given us - our burden has really been lightened by all of you. Have a wonderful Christmas and let's raise a glass to a happy and healthy 2009! More later...
Love, Patty & Dallas

Hi guys: We were back in Invermere for the holidays with my whole family. It was very special to have us all there as my mom has been ill & had to get herself a pace maker. She is well now, & we had a great time. Jaimie's boyfriend Dave took Lawrence aside Xmas day & asked for permission to MARRY Jaimie. We were both so happy (I cried for an hour!) No date set yet. We arrived back here in Parker Dam on the 28th & celebrated new Years with friends & family here. Lawrence is now back in Alta. (left yesterday) working for Encana Energy on a 3 month contract He didn't want to leave but with the markets kicking us in the pants, the opportunity was one that he just couldn't refuse. So I'm holding down the fort here! Anyhow, I am thinking of you both, & knowing the love & support you both have, you will get through this hurdle. You are in my prayers. Judy
