One of the issues that I haven’t shared much is in addition to Dale’s cancer diagnosis, the doctors found that Dale has some coronary blockages.  I’ve consider this one of the small blessings since it probably would have gone undetected until it became a larger issue.   While in the hospital, part of Dale’s medical team includes a cardiologist specializing in oncology.  He wanted a full picture of the blockages so yesterday Dale had a heart catheterization to determine the amount of blockage and treatment plan.  It was determined that his blockages didn’t require any stents.  We have a follow-up appointment with his oncology-cardiologist for a treatment with medication and diet.

While Dale won’t be golfing in Arizona for the annual guys trip, his doctors gave him the ok, with some cautions, to visit with them.  He’s excited  to see them next week when they’re down golfing in the sun!  And Kevin will be golfing with the group too so we’ll get a little extra time with him.  Quinn won’t be on the trip this year but Dale gets in his daily chats with him too.

So, we continue on this journey day by day towards better health.  Thank you all for your concern, encouraging words and prayers!
