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

Last few days

It's been a while since I've written, the last few days have been weary for me, and I can hardly get out of bed. Thank goodness for laptops. Bright spots have been getting cards and notes from high school friends, aunts, cousins, and old family friends. "Hello to you!", and I do plan to write you back, it just may be a while. Just know you brought a smile and a few tears.

At today's doctor visit, she evaluated what I'm going through and said with just two more days of Radiation left, go ahead and stop taking the chemo pills altogether. (Yeah!) So with that news, and finishing up treatments on Thursday, my days will only be getting better from here.

I'm sorry this has been such a tough week - but your attitude is really inspiring. (Makes my blisters I was whining about pretty trivial!)

Ya know I was thinking about how you're feeling, and wonder if your system is taking an extra beating because your visualizations are spot-on. The crispy critter is gone!

Hang in there my friend, the light is surely getting brighter.
