Thanks again for all of your calls, emails, cards and visits - you guys are simply the best! The Big Guy completed another round of chemo with flying colours today so we have a 3 week break from the cancer clinic until the next round. That's the other good news - the next round is scheduled so we're assuming that the cancer agency approved the rest of Dallas's treatments (of course I'm being very hopeful with my assumption - we know how tough cancer agency can be with their approvals and we have no "official" word yet). It would be big relief to not have to fight for the drugs that we need - and the difference they're making is truly amazing. The swelling and hardness in Dallas's face and neck has almost disappeared and his neck mobility has really improved (maybe I won't have to do all the driving anymore - yeah!!). So after his 6 hour day in the chemo chair he came home and started painting the trim on the house some more - some things never change!
On our family front, Jordan seems to be settling in back in Calgary and Marcus and Heather are in full swing with their wedding plans. I even got to go to a bridal show on the weekend - finally some girl stuff in my life after all these years! Dallas and I enjoyed time out on the Cinnamon Girl this week - no fish but it was a great day. He plans to spend more time out there next week. He usually has a few tougher days after chemo but then the good days start to out number the bad ones pretty quickly so it's time to fish! Life is good. More later...
Love,
Patty

Simply marvelous you two!! Dallas, your attitude/spirit is strong and I'm sure is a big part of how you feel. I can't believe you are back on the "brush" so quickly. The news on the relief of the swelling and hardness in your neck is fantastic and must make things easier for you. Keep going big guy, you're an inspiration!!
On behalf of your many friends who read the blog consistently we would like to say "fantastic news" and good luck with the fishing next week
Wow! BOTH of you are amazing! Your spirit is an inspiration...
