Hi all, I'll be stepping in from time to time for Debbie and updating you. We had a good day yesterday. We met the radiation oncologist and he is the most eloquent, confident, and easy to talk to doctor I have ever met. A true gentleman. If the medical profession had more docs like him, we'd all be in a much better place. He was very confident that the first stage of Deb's treatment, of which he's involved, will be successful in reducing the tumor size allowing for success down the road. Friday will be a long day for us as we have tests and consultations at two different hospitals and I'm sure they will turn out good also.
Deb's spirits are good and all of your calls, thoughts, and generous offers of help are inspiring to us.
Oh and referring back to the title of this post...it comes from Dr. Acker, Deb's radiation oncologist. He said "Cancer is like a skunk – if you're going to kill it with a bat, you'd better hit it with the first swing."
Positive vibrations and blessings to you all. - Doug

debbie and doug
I wanted to let you know that I am with you, every second of every day, sending you all my love and support. I wish that I could put on hold my little web of life, in order to give you and your family all of my attention. Unfortunately though, that is impossible, and life keeps going on as if there isn’t a problem. People I see have no idea how hurt I am that this has happened, and that I can’t get to you. Mom and I are both on pins and needles, wringing our knuckles, waiting to hear how you are and what is next. What makes us get through though, is the positive attitude coming from YOU and DOUG!
YOU and DOUG have such a plan of victory, that it wipes away the doubts and fears that I get from day to day. Mom helps me to understand but she needs, and so do I, to hear the strength from both of you. I don’t know if you will ever know how much we count on that!
My little sister! If I know you, you are totally organized, and completely ready to face these next few months as if it’s just a small annoyance. This too shall pass, all will be normal again, and none too soon. What a wonderful husband you have, to help us as he has. He is one in a trillion!
I will be here for you, not far away at all. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if there is something, anything, I can do... or, if you just want to talk!
RIGHT THERE WITH YA... right here for you.
