Update #16 (March 11, 2020)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

Post written by Sarah and Tammy (two close friends of Linda’s from Australia). The Wilton’s trip to southern Ontario in February was the perfect timing to surprise Linda with more Aussie visitors.  Linda is hard to keep secrets from which made it exciting and satisfying to pull it off!  We’re not sure what Linda was …

Updates / By Dan and Linda

“For the LORD our God is a sun and shield:  the LORD will give grace and glory:  no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.  O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”  Psalm 84v11 A lot has happened since our last update.  We had some goodbyes, some …

Update #14 (January 20, 2020)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

We haven’t done an update for a while.  It seems like my life seems to follow a fairly consistent pattern right now … a down week after chemo, then a fairly good week, and then a week where I feel relatively normal!  With each round of chemo, I have found it harder to bounce back …

Updates / By Dan and Linda

Chemo Round 4 It’s been a few weeks since the last update so we just wanted to send a short one out.  It’s a week and a half since round 4 of chemo and I’m finally starting to feel stronger.  It was a hard round, both physically and emotionally.  It seems like the body takes …

Update #12 (November 28, 2019)

Updates / By Guest Contributor

Post written by Leah Gibbs (Linda’s younger sister from Australia). The last 2 weeks, Ben (one of Linda’s 4 brothers) and I (Leah) have been here in the cold on Manitoulin Island spending time with our sister Linda and her family.  It’s been nice to spend some quality time with them.  When you live on …

Update #11 (November 8, 2019)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

Chemo Round #2 I had my second round of chemo here in Mindemoya last Friday (November 1).  It was so nice to only have to drive 2 mins down the road … not 2 hours to Sudbury!  Hadassah came along and sat with me for part of the infusion and Dan came for the last …

Update #10 (October 30, 2019)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

We have been SO incredibly thankful that I’ve felt really well the past 2 weeks!  I still have some mouth sores and a sore tongue, but the oncology dentist is keeping an eye on them and at this stage they are bearable!  I’m eating normally at the moment too, which I’m thankful for.  I don’t …

Update #9 (October 17, 2019)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

First Chemo It’s now just over a week since I had my first session of chemo.  I was quite nervous leading up to it … knowing how hard chemo can be on your body.  But I have been SO thankful that I haven’t experienced too many side effects … well not yet anyway.  I had …

Update #8 (October 7, 2019)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

PICC Line I had the PICC line put in earlier today.  It was a very straightforward procedure and probably took less than 20 minutes!  It was quite fascinating really.  They did an ultrasound on the top inside of my right arm first to find a vein to put the line into.  The nurse was happy …

Update #7 (October 1, 2019)

Updates / By Dan and Linda

Visit to ER I had to make a visit to ER last Wednesday evening with a fever.  It wasn’t super high but they tell all cancer patients that if you have a fever above 38oC then you need to go to ER.  I guess they are worried about infection especially with immunosuppressed patients.  I didn’t …
