Our Christmas was wonderful! I'm so glad to be feeling well because weeks ago I really thought I'd be lucky to be up and out with everyone on Christmas Day. But my recovery is going great, and for the most part I feel pretty good. I still get into what I call a pain-zone when I haven't taken any pain killers, but lately I'm trying to only take one if we go somewhere, have friends over, or I just can't take it anymore.
The month of December has flown by. It seemed like I had forever before I had to start thinking about the next step: getting the port put in and starting chemo again the first part of January. But the days are ticking away and it's time to get mentally prepared for that, not to mention gearing up with my work again towards the end of January. I hope I feel good enough to do both simultaneously.
A happy and healthy New Year to you all! This will be the first year my resolution won't be to lose weight, having lost 23lbs in this ordeal. Please make your Resolution to get a colonoscopy if you're 50+ and haven't done so yet. (I know... TMI, but I just have to ask it! :) Thanks for still checking in with me. We'll write more when I get my port January 5th.
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.

Hi Debbie,Doug,and family,
While you were getting your port, Uncle Tim was having a colonoscopy precedure done. I think everything is okay. He had quite a few small polop's. I don't know if your mom has told you yet, but Glenn will be making a serious journey now. Pray for us. Love you.
Aunt Betty & Uncle Tim
