Today went so much better than yesterday! This time they gave Dallas the allergy medication before they introduced the second drug into his system. Although the day was very long - 7 hours in the chemo chair for the Big Guy - Dallas was more comfortable. Jordan covered off part of the day so that I could take a break (who knew being a chemo partner could be so exhausting?) which was a gift for Dallas and me. Dallas is taking it easy tonight and has even managed to eat some real food - YEAH!
We had my brother's family visiting this week - as always it was wonderful to spend time with them. Our little munchkins, Connor and Emmy, are growing up far too quickly for our liking. Uncle Dallas took them out on the Cinnamon Girl for some fishing and Jordan was in charge of general entertainment - he had a blast! Marcus and Heather were able to join us for an evening too. Life doesn't get much better!
We have a three week break before Dallas's next cycle of treatment. The nurses were telling him that he'll be sporting a new look soon - I've always wanted to see how perfectly shaped his head is and now I'll have that opportunity. A small price to pay for having those blue eyes smiling back at me! More later...

So glad you are on your way with the new treatment! Makes sense they'd infuse you with allergy meds to control the swelling - so that was in correlation with a reaction to the med's? But before the heceptin? Gosh, you will be able to write a book on this when you are through. You both must be exhausted. Happy to hear you have 3 weeks off, to rest and recuperate before the next round. Finally picking up my 6 rolls of film from our camping trip with you. Will send some your way via scanner within a few days. Love, prayers, thoughts, good wishes, and more love sending your way! Love, Sandy, Fred, Conner and Caitlin xoxoxox
That's more like it! Nice work you two....will three weeks be enough time to finally catch a salmon?? Hope so...
Always thinking of you,
Dave and June
Sounds like your barber bill will be the same as mine for some time. More gas for the boat!!!!! Look how good Wayne looked standing beside me last year.
Cheers for you both, prayers and thoughts always!!

Dallas and Patty
Thankfully you can both catch your breath now and enjoy this 3 week break - wow 7 hours in the chemo chair - you two are an inspiration to us all.
You are in our prayers and thoughts every day!
Love, Karin and Lynda xo
