As I sit here looking over the campground which has been inundated with smoke from the Northern Manitoba Forest Fires...its hard to think that we are already on week 5 of Dad's Treatments. Whats even harder to believe is that Dad still hasn't experienced ANY adverse reactions to his treatments. Yes you read that correctly...he is still doing AMAZING and looks as healthy as he did on May 28th (the day before this all happened)!!

My Dad has always been one of little words...unless he really wants to get his point across or if he is telling stories. This experience certainly has him talking a lot more, which I am enjoying every minute of! Their days have consisted of getting up in the morning, Mom makes sure Dad has some porridge in his tummy before she gives him his Chemo Pill, they then eat a hearty breakfast (its good that his appetite is still good), for those of you that know my Dad personally, he can afford to p...
As many of you know my Dad Helmut Neufeld is at the beginning of what could be the fight of his life (literally)!! He has asked me to start this Blog so we can keep everyone that loves and cares for him and our family updated with his journey! This is the reason for this Blog and I write it completely with his blessing! ~ Shannon ~
