Tonight we're back to Seattle, with my fourth every-other-Monday Avastin injection scheduled for tomorrow. Only 22 to go after it...! I also have an MRI scheduled first thing in the morning, meetings with a couple of doctors, and of course the standard blood and urine tests. All things being equal, we should know more about what is happening and how things are going for me when we fly home tomorrow evening.
This past week has been good, with several common, standard acts feeling very good, for exactly that reason. I remounted the topper on my pickup, as I've done every fall for several years, then took half a dozen rifles to the range to test them before hunting trips. Five out of the six are doing very well and are ready to go. The other one is not, and will have to wait until next year before it gets repaired/readjusted/restocked or whatever it will take to make it work well enough to suit me. I also went fishing again on Saturday, and added more vacuum-sealed salmon packages to the freezer. What a grand feeling that has been! And Saturday night we had dinner with a friend from Montana and his son and daughter-in-law, who live and work here.
We return home Monday night, and Tuesday afternoon we head to Prince of Wales Island -- work for both of us. Faith is doing several activities related to her Forest Service position, and I am back to work on my contract with The Nature Conservancy. And we'll be staying at a couple of different friends' homes, near Craig and in Thorne Bay, which will also be great fun. And, because we're taking my truck, Kona the Wonder Dog gets to go with us! We come back first thing Friday morning on the ferry, just in time to start another weekend.
Well...that's our story. More to come next Sunday...
Dennis & Faith

Dennis,
Tomorrow (I guess it's really tonight) will be the second support Group meeting at VM. I wish you could be there. I continue to follow your exploits (recovery). As I said before, you are blazing the trail for me. I got off radiation 7 days ago and it was a terriffic relief. Like you, they are not going to give me the 4-week's off. They already have me back on chemo. Last week was rough as far a fatigue goes, but I am encouraged by your exploits.
Keep moving forward, I am right behind you and appreciate your leading the way.
Dave Patton
