Family and Friends, those are the four sweetest words I have ever heard. Those are the words Dr. Brown our surgeon said to me today during our appointment trying to find the tumor. The only thing left is an ulcer where the tumor once was.
Words do not describe the emotions we are feeling right now other than Euphoric. I know this moment is short but we are savoring it, as we still have a long road ahead. But as I said to our dear friend Sharon M. the road just got paved.
A huge thanks to our team...ALL OF YOU and our team captain...God!!! Your prayers, many acts of kindness, thoughts, emails, etc. have inspired us and calmed us along this journey and made it possible for Debbie to focus on healing. YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to especially thank Dr. Acker and his group at Skyridge Radiation...Angel, Gwen, Alli, Carol, & Tracy. And Dr. Basche with the chemo treatments. YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also a very special thanks to Greg...you rock with the acupuncture and Chinese herbs. All the rest of the gang at Integrative Medical in Castle Rock, Dave, Tam, David, we are so grateful for your healing hands!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, love and thank you to our immediate family, your love and support of your Mother/Daughter/Sister is monumental. YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whew...Lots of emotion today. We still have surgery ahead of us and chemo after, but the road for a successful surgery has gotten alot brighter. Debbie's surgery is looking like Nov. 10th with probably about a week in the hospital.
Most of all, Debbie, my beautiful wife...You have been through 2 months of agony, but guess what YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much to do yet, but you will hit the homerun.

Debbie,
Kate called to tell us your wonderful news! It's so incredible to see the power of prayer at work. Your fabulous team has really come through for you! We'll continue to keep you in our prayers through the next steps of your treatment. Kim's mom had a similar experience with colon cancer, surgery, and a temporary iliostomy bag, and she's had a clean bill of health ever since.
Blessings to all of you! Ann

Way to go Deb!! I can not tell you how happy I am for you and your family and will continue the prayers for your recovery. Good job on the ankle Doug, just goes to show a guy your age shouldn't run but instead find a nice indoor track and walk briskly. :-)
By the way, in Fairmont our streets don't have pot holes due to great leadership.
God bless!!
