We are just home from our bi-weekly visit with the oncologist. We were given the results of Myron's CTSCAN (on April 27th), and the news is good that the tumor on his pancreas had shrunk from 4 cm down to 3 cm. The doctor believes that this is very good news. As a result, we are going to continue chemotherapy treatments for another 4 sessions, up until June 25th and then we will take a break for a vacation in Newfoundland in July. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well in the meantime, and we can proceed with this plan. We will be seeing the haematologist on May24th, and finding out from him whether the use of a compression stocking will help control the swelling in Myron's leg (caused by the blood clots).

On the home front things are as busy as ever. Yesterday we drove out to our trailer, cut the grass, set up the gazebo on the deck etc. (see photo below), and we're looking forward to spending a few days there in the near future. We are going out to our bowling banquet this evening (even though we only bowled the first half of the season). We are eagerly anticipating the Dennis/Sanderson family barbecue this weekend and are looking forward to seeing our family, many of you who we haven't seen in quite some time. We are expecting Betty and Red to arrive from Texas some time tomorrow evening, and Vern and Dale will be arriving from Wisconsin on Thursday evening. We raised our US flag today in honour of the visit of the Americans in our family (see photo below).

That's all the news for now. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

love,
Myron and Wendy
