HERE WE ARE!!!

Hi everyone - thanks as always for the update reports, comments and support. We arrived in Vancouver on Sunday and today is Dallas's first full day at the cancer clinic. By full day I mean 8:45 am to 10:00 pm! They have a schedule so his blood is drawn at certain intervals throughout the day. It makes for a tedious time but at least we can get out for some walks during the longer breaks.

Tomorrow we'll move into our suite - up until now we've been staying with good friends Di and Jim over on the North Shore. It will be nice to have our own place within walking distance so I don't have to contend with Vancouver traffic - YIKES!!!

I'll try and keep you posted more often now that treatment has begun again - so far so good! More later...

Love, Patty and the Big Guy

Been thinking of you lots and the count down to Vancouver. Happy that things are under way at the cancer Agency. You will soon know your way around all those corriders like your back yard and your lap top will be your closest friend. Good luck with it all and look forward to the blog. You may be seeing some of the dentists (Michelle Williams and team) from the dental clinic, say hi - they will treat you well.

the best of luck, jim

ps how elusive were the halibut this spring?

Fabulous news! We're also so pleased that you're underway. Hope you're feeling right at home in that cute apartment by now! Being in Vancouver also gives you better access to a whole group of additional support - especially family. Look forward to your updates and again - know that our positive thoughts keep comin' from here! I just KNOW that starting on St. Patrick's Day will serve you both well - I was thinking about that all day yesterday.
Big hugs and take care.
Love, Ev & Bill
