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

Herbs and other integrated treatments

I've been drinking tea brewed with Chinese herbs. A half cup before breakfast and again before dinner. Then a dfferent one throughout the day, with an added mint green tea bag thrown in to add more flavor. Basically the herbs are clearing heat and dissolving phlegm nodules. They are also removing heat toxins from the blood. The Chinese have used these herbs for thousands of years to treat conditions similar to my problem.

This plus acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and kinesiology are all beneficial treatments to aid in boosting the immune system and working with mind, body and spirit. Thanks to the team who are helping me accomplish this.

Debbie, Just checked into your blog. It's great, very inspiring... every night I say prayers for all people in pain or suffering, and ask for them to have strength, courage, comfort, peace, love, joy and hope... I always smile when I think of your particular case, because you have all those things! We all are with you on this difficult upward road!
Love, Cindy Malone, Friend and neighbor

Hi Debbie, Doug and Mister Randy's kids. I just got off of google maps and took a street view look at your Quail Lane diggs. Debbie, with all the support from family and friends including an absolutely positive attitude, your path to full recovery will go just as fast as me sliding down your snow covered drive after a few shots of tequilla. A bit shakey at times as I recall but lightning fast! Now, on to herbs and other integrated treatments: Two glasses (or is it "bottles") of California Red Wine every evening cures all things; however, you might want to stay off of the trampoline for a spell.
