Hi there...so here we go again - week 3 looms ahead. So far, Dallas is feeling GREAT! We are really pleased that he's had no major side effects from the meds.
Our week began with a special visit with my brother Ron's family. Tina and Ron are the parents of our super star niece and nephew, Emily and Connor. It's always wonderful to catch up with our little munchkins! Connor and Emmy are the kids that you see featured in wrestling poses with our boys on the blog. We hope to be able to get in another visit with them soon.
We spent a great weekend with our good friends Steve and Peggy. They came over from Victoria to help us pass the time here. We explored Granville Island, dragged the guys out for some shopping and did more sight seeing. Vancouver traffic was a real gong show this weekend because of the Juno awards. There were free concerts going on at several different venues in town so no matter which way you turned there seemed to be a traffic jam! We still managed to get in a good visit with Steve and Peg - even though a lot of our time seemed to be spent in the car!
On Sunday evening our old friends (not in age!) Jim and Di were over for dinner. We have been lucky enough to be guests at Jim and Di's B & B for many of our visits to Vancouver.
Dallas starts another testing cycle tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a shorter day so we'll only be at the Cancer Clinic for about 4 hours. During that time, Dallas will have several lab tests including 3 separate ECG's. Wednesday is another very long day - 12 hours at the clinic with a lot of that time spent in the chemo room. Fortunately, as the day progresses we'll be able to escape a couple of times for lunch and dinner. After Wednesday our schedule will be clear sailing - Dallas will once again go AWOL and we'll escape to Victoria for a couple of days. Dallas hopes to get in a day of halibut fishing again and I have a baby shower to attend (that is unless baby boy Ireland decides to make an early appearance - he's showing signs that he's ready to come out and meet the very large cheering section waiting for him! Go baby go!!).
Our good friend Ed Wiens is planning a quick visit this week too so I'm sure the time will just fly by. Thanks, as always for staying in touch! More later....
Love,
Patty and Dallas

Well that was a whirlwind weekend. Glad to hear the side effects are at a minimum and you're feeling great Dallas. Not to make light of the incredible amount of time you have to spend there and all those tests. Some good fishing hopefully to look forward to this coming weekend. Exactly how many Halibut can you put in that freezer of yours.
