There are no words. There is no real way to express the gratitude we feel for the outpouring of generosity that came our way in the last few weeks, not to mention the past three and a half years. Our hearts are full.
On February 5th our house was overflowing with people, with music, with love and laughter. The afternoon House Concert got underway at 2 pm with lots of children present, peacefully playing around as they listened to the music, getting a chance to try some instruments at the end. The second concert began at 7:30 with 68 guests seated around our living room on couches, chairs and cushions on the floor. Joel, Tom, Betty and Bill were phenomenal, playing and belting out songs, bringing the audience to a standing ovation. There was dessert and wine and just plain happiness all around. The donation jug was overflowing and the means to get to Sweden for medical treatment is now within reach. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who was here or who donated by email, by PayPal or sent money and cheques. And thank you Betty, Bill, Tom and Joel for the fantastic concert. 
Just a little update on the state of my health.... yesterday I got the results of my C.T. Scan and found that the cancer has stabilized. Although we were hoping to find it was gone, the doctor was pleased with these results. It seems that stabilization is very rare for this type of cancer and we have done it with the treatment, alternative healers and positive attitudes. I am finished chemo and am still getting a shot of Avastin every two weeks for the next 2-3 months. Avastin targets and blocks the protein/growth factor that makes this type of cancer multiply so quickly. It is a relatively new drug for Canada and even a newer drug for use in neuroendocrine cancer. Research has been promising for stabilizing and in some cases eradicating the lesions. I am looking forward to having hair again and to getting into top shape before we head to Sweden. Once more thank you everyone for everything!!!!
We are truly blessed!!!!
