A Note from Debbie.....

It's been one amazing year and now I am happy to say I am cured. Please see below for my journey through cancer....


Hello my friends, on August 4, 2008 I was diagnosed with Cancer.

As you can imagine the initial shock was great, for me, Doug and our girls. We've now got a great team of colorectal doctors, learned a lot about what is ahead, and have gotten our minds wrapped around it. So now we are in the "let's get this thing out of here" mode and feel very confident that, with prayers and support of my friends and family, by next Spring I will celebrate being cancer-free.

Please join me in this journey of Recovery, and visit this blog from time to time for updates, to post your comments, and read others'. If you're new to Blogging (as am I!) new postings are at the top, click the Archives at the left and scroll down to start at the beginning, then press "Comments" to read responses, and please add your own! And if you will, leave your name and how we're associated, as opposed to Anonymous (thanks!). Email Doug for instructions if you have trouble, ddavis@archifects.com.

With much love,
Debbie

CT and PET results.

Yesterday's test was a final high res CT of the abdomen and pelvis. The initial results showed concern in the lymph nodes but the inflamation may have been due to the procedure because the final conclusion is that the PET scan shows that other than the one mass I'm "clean as a whistle" throughout the rest of my body, including lymph nodes!

Due to the time consuming process of evaluating the results, going through the Simulation today (which is making a template of sorts for the radiation), and then us taking Andrea up to UNC, Greeley on Thursday, and then a run-through on Friday, the Radiation & Chemo (R&C) will finally start on Monday.
