Well, I guess it's time to admit that I'm starting to feel the effects of the treatment. I've got an underlying just plain icky feeling, am moving a bit slower, having bathroom issues, and the noises coming from my stomach are usually only heard coming from the jungle floor. They said it'd start to happen around the third week, but I kept thinking "hey, this isn't so bad." Now halfway into the fourth week, it's getting me. Doug reminds me it's just temporary, and that is certainly the dangling carrot I'll be reaching for.
I'm trying to stay on time with my deadlines, but the newsletters may have to be a couple days late. The daily trips to the hospital for Radiation take a chunk out of my day, and I'm not burning the midnight oil like I use to. The numerous offers of help are still in the back of my mind, and I have started accepting a few of them.
Thank you to those who have not yet made the jump to putting a comment on this Blog, but have sent personal emails, called or sent cards and letters. It's so wonderful to hear from you. If you want Doug to walk you through the Blog comment-thing, just email him at ddavis@archifects.com. I'd love to have your messages posted with the others. Until later....

Seems like yesterday;)

Hi, Debbie!
You have made it through the 4th week. Congratuations! Just a little while longer, girl. Hang in there. Keep your eyes on the Healer. He is there with you.
Love,
Aunt Janice
Debbie,
So sorry you are feeling yucky. I hope you forget about burning any midnight oil for just a short time. I'm SURE your customers would understand and even want that for you also. It is so important that your mind be relaxed to focus on your healing. Give yourself permission to not be that 'Superwoman' you have been for years. Even God rested on the 7th day. You are doing great and are on the downside of this part of your journey. You can do it, and are doing it well, as you always do-- YOU GO(and take a nap)GIRL the world will wait for you on your time schedule...LOVE LAUREY

Hi Debbie,
You help advertise my daycare Peeterpan Childcare in Castle Pines North. I just read about you being ill in your newsletter. I'm so sorry to hear you have not been well but you are on your way to being better! Don't get discouraged. I'm a Breast Cancer Survivor and experienced both radiation and surgery. Stay positive. You will get stronger and before long you will be doing the things you love again. I'll keep you in my prayers. Certainly don't worry about our ads.
