HI FROM THE WET AND WINDY COAST!!!

Hi everyone! We've recently enjoyed visits from Sharon and Ed Wiens as well as a weekend with Brian Schaal. It was great to catch up with them but unfortunate that the weather didn't cooperate. Dallas has been itching to get out on the Cinnamon Girl before the halibut season closes but it's just been too miserable. Oh well - no shovelling required yet - just good rain gear!

Yesterday Dallas had a MUGA scan which is a test that measures the strength of his heart (one of the prerequisites for his next phase of treatment with herceptin). Once again he's glowing from the nuclear tracer that they inject him with so we'll be sure to stay away from airport security for awhile. We have our fingers crossed that he's passed the scan with flying colours and will be approved for hercepting treatment by the cancer agency board - always a nerve wracking time for us. Dallas's next round of chemo is on Wednesday so we'll try to keep busy with projects around the house until then.

Thanks as always for your support! More later...

Love, Patty & the Big Guy

Hi guys, I haven't checked your blog for some time and was delighted to see both of your smiling faces! Dallas, even though Patti can't run her fingers through your hair right now, you've kept those "pinchable cheeks" for her!! Keep up the good fight, together you are both stronger. We miss you...Louise

Hi guys,

It's hard to come up with anything new to say, because everyone has already said what Trudy and I think about you guys all the time. All we can say is "keep it up". Your fight is truly inspirational.

Dallas and Patty, you guys are such an inspiration. Your continuing positive attitude is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and letting us know how you are doing.
We certainly wish you both the best results from your efforts.
Keep the progress going.

Hi, i really think you guys need to try something additional to the regular cancer treatment. There is a system of meditation called sahaja yoga that has PROVEN to be effective against cancer. There are centres in almost all cities in all developed countries. Please find the centre near you on the website, GO THERE, and have someone teach you the techniques. It will work out, but for that to happen, you MUST do it. the website is www.sahajayoga.org
