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
Better!
Earlier this week was pretty rough, but with each day that has gone by since I am feeling better. I was thrilled that I got up this morning and fixed us French Toast for breakfast, so obviously my strength AND appetite are better. It's mid-morning now and am starting to drag, so as not to push it I'd better cuddle back into bed on this chilly autumn day.

Hey Debbie, Bro and I just finished a 5k in your honor in Ottawa. It was no Chicago Marathon and our time was not great (3 people pushing baby strollers were ahead of us) but it was, is, a beautiful day and hundreds of people were there with us stomping up and down the I&M Canal for a good cause, cancer awareness. Hang in there cause the good days are all that are coming! That is my visualization. Love, Ann
I'm so glad you are feeling better with each passing day! Hang in there it can only get better!
So glad you are better! Yesterday when 2 of your sisters and I, read your "Better" blog, we all exhaled and laughed together, we were so happy.
You will stay in our prayers to get you completely well and out of this dismal period of your sweet life.
You know who loves you!

Doug and Debbie, I am so sorry you are having to battle the BIG C! I had no idea until I received Sharon's e-mail this weekend. Hang tough and stay positive. We will pray for you - I know you can beat this!
We thought of you as we also celebrated our 25th anniversary (1 week before yours). We wondered what you were doing - had hoped it was something fun - not this.

p.s. We don't have a blogger account - will get one.
Debbie, so glad to read your entry on Oct. 11th. Been thinking about you a lot and hoping you are doing well. Wishing you good days ahead. Laurie White
