Hi everyone,
Thanks as always for being on our team. The last couple of weeks have been busy ones. We had a nice visit from Lawrence Miller - a buddy from the valley. Lawrence is now known as the "lucky" fisherman - he landed a 90 lb. halibut while fishing with a cousin on the island. Lawrence's catch has made Dallas even more determined to go halibut hunting! We missed seeing Lawrence's better half, Judy, so hopefully we'll catch her next time. We also had a nice visit with Jim Guild on Sunday (Jim's another valley transplant like us). Jim has a busy dental practice in Ladysmith so we really appreciate the time he spends with us.
We enjoyed Marcus and Heather's Engagement Party a couple of weeks ago. Sharon (Heather's Mom) hosted the party - the food was yummy and it was great to get our families and the wedding party together to celebrate.
Today is an exciting day for us because Jordan arrives home for Thanksgiving. His birthday was on Tuesday, so we'll celebrate that tonight and then tomorrow we'll pack for a Thanksgiving weekend in Seattle. The boys bought Dallas Seattle Seahawk tickets for his birthday so while they're enjoying the game Heather and I will shop 'til we drop - YEAH!
Dallas is feeling quite well. The effects of the chemo are cumulative so this go round he finally admits that he has less energy than the last round. Despite this, my guy continues to amaze me - he rarely keeps still and seems to always be working on a project. We have an appointment with our favourite cancer doc tomorrow (Peter Battershill is definitely on our team). We still haven't officially heard about whether or not Dallas's next round of Herceptin has been approved. I can't see the Cancer Agency denying us because Dallas has experienced such good results with the drug but the wheels of bureaucracy turn strangely sometimes. Our next chemo session is scheduled for this Wednesday so we're just going to show up and hope for the best! Positive thoughts and prayers are always appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving! More later....
Love, Patty
