Hi everyone...as I write this we're relaxing in our new little suite in Kitsilano - still trying to get used to BIG city life. As most of you know, the Big Guy decided to go AWOL this weekend. We went home to Victoria for the weekend - a big no-no as far as the docs here are concerned but island time can be the best medicine of all! Dallas and Steve had a great time in the halibut derby. It was a good day for the guys - 3 halibut caught (17, 20 & 27 lbs.) so we will feast on it for awhile. Despite this, they didn't get into the money - there was a record breaking 180 pound halibut caught during the derby. It was one of the largest halibut ever caught in the Sidney area so the guys enjoyed just seeing it at the weigh in!
Dallas had a good check up today with the oncologist. He has some minor side effects from the drug (a bit of an acne like rash on his face which is common) but that's all so far. The doctor gave us some pretty awesome news today - they are starting to see some positive results with the drug. A woman that has breast cancer is showing signs of it diminishing so our doctor is hopeful that the drug will work for other patients as well. Since we're the new kids on the block, we still have a few weeks until they'll know how Dallas is responding to the drug, but we're very hopeful. It was a great cancer day! More later...
Love, Patty & Dallas
PS - Pearl - you did just great on your first blog - thanks for keeping in touch!

Great fishing Dallas. One of these days we'll take you up on that trip. We didn't get out at all last year but hopefully at least weekly this year. Cheap licence next week. LOL
We're planning on coming down to the big city next week, but snowed this morning and Coq at the snowshed on the webcam was a whiteout so we might have to delay a week or take the Fraser Canyon. Kick those bugs a$$ Dallas, we're thinking of you and will give you a call when we get down.
Really pleased to hear all is going well. You are both in my thoughts. Lots of love and hugs Angie xxx
Hope the week is going good, keep up the good fight.
