Hi everyone...I'm happy to report that Dallas successfully completed round four of his chemo cycle and is feeling pretty well. We were very happy to hear that he had been approved for three more cycles without any hassles. At the completion of cycle 6 they'll be removing one of the drugs - the paclitaxel - and reviewing his treatment plan again. The paclitaxel accompanies herceptin for the first six treatments and then the herceptin is given for the rest of the treatments (we're not sure how long that will be yet). We were very thankful that Dallas's reviews will be based on how well he is feeling rather than more scans and tests.
We enjoyed a quiet weekend with a visit from old friends Diane and Jim. It was great to catch up with them as well as Marcus and Heather who joined us for dinner on Saturday night. Last night we had dinner out with Peg and Steve - spending time with them is always a great way to cap off the week.
Thanks as always for your emails, calls, visits, cards and blog comments (okay - who is anonymous - really??!!). After a very rainy Saturday we're going to get out and enjoy the sunshine today - +12 degrees just to make those of you in deep freeze country feel better. Remember our B & B is always open! More later...
Love,
Patty

Dallas and Patty,
Ok Dallas you are my HERO. Chemo and then house-painting??? Are you kidding me??? Your fortitude and strength continues to amaze us all. Patty - you are my other equally-amazing hero. Thank you for keeping us all posted with the blog. We feel like we get a tiny peek inside your lives, and it makes it easier to be "with you". We are constantly speaking both your names at our dinnertime prayers, and continue to hold you close in our hearts and thoughts throughout our days. You are both lovely, incredible people, and we all just love you so much. Keep up the fight.
