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

And to Doug...

YOU did it!!!! If ever there was an example of how a spouse should act as a caregiver (except for the recent ankle injury) you wrote the book mister! You're my hero during all this. And to our friends and family... God listened and acted upon all your prayers. My support system has been amazing, like nothing I EVER could have imagined. If I didn't reply to your emails or Blog comments I apologize, but know that I love getting them and was lifted up emotionally, and obviously physically. My fullest gratitude to you all. It WORKED!!! - Debbie

Doug,
Debbie appreciates all you do for her. Please know how much that also means to me. You two are a beautiful team.

Debbie,
In the past, through all of this bad news and stress I have not shed a tear. I guess I was too filled with fear to cry. When I heard your happy voice on the phone today I started blubbering and sobbing so loud that I could hardly hear the good news I knew you were bringing to me. Thank you, God, in the name of your son Jesus, I am so grateful.

I love you so much.
