Just wanted to drop a quick line to let everybody know that we got home safely.
We've learned a lot, and there's still a lot more to learn but we believe that we're on the right track with this - 'raw living foods' to treat Dave's cancer. While I think of it I do want to thank everybody that has dropped off soups and meals. They have been tremendously appreciated, but going forward Dave won't be 'allowed' to eat them.
At this point Dave still isn't feeling great. The side effects of chemotherapy are still coming on strong. He doesn't have much energy, has headaches, his neuropathy (nerve pain in hands & feet) is better then it was last week but is still there, his teeth are bothering him, and he feels pain in his mouth and throat as well. To top it all off, he still has pain from his feeding tube. :( On a positive note, he looks healthier now then he did a week ago. (His face was a little ashen and he was getting a kind of rash spots around his face & neck. I've noticed that since spending a week on living foods, the spots have gone away, and his face looks healthier.)
His spirits are still up and he is looking forward to a break in his chemo coming up in a week. Tomorrow morning he goes into the London Regional Cancer Center for his weekly blood test and to change the 5-FU chemo bottle. He has one more week, and then he'll have a break while they do another catscan and review.
Thank you everybody for your thoughts & prayers. We've been praying daily for God's continued guidance and are feeling very positive at this point.

Welcome Home! Glad to hear your trip was a success, only wish the side effects of chemo weren't so harsh for Big Dave. Looking forward to celebrating the end of chemo (for now) in a week.
Thinking of you always.
Love,
Gilly

Still covering you all in prayer.

Dave and Val,
Welcome back to Canader EH?
Zen and I are so glad the trip to the USA was such a positive experience. We continue to
multi-pray for each of you daily, Dave, Val, and Cale. BTW: We have found the details of this 'raw living foods' diet fascinating and look forward to reading more. Be well and know you are always in our prayers.
In Christ,
John and Zen.

Greetings from "cold" Florida - so far no shorts and T-shirts, but it's sunny and there is no snow. Wanted to let you know that I was prompted to get awake early this morning and pray for you. You guys are on our minds every day, as we pray for God to see you through this.
Bob & Linda K.
