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
Between treatments
I've noticed that the cold sensitivity has lessened as the days go by between treatments. I can gulp cold drinks and hold cold things without the sting. And the weight loss goes back up too. I had lost 5 pounds pretty quickly after the first day of chemo, but have gained 3 of them back. Of course, sister Kathy's chocolate covered peanuts and Tori's birthday cake has helped. I go back in for round 2 this Tuesday. They want to slow the drip due to a tingling in my tongue last time, so I'll be hooked up 3 hours instead of 2. I'd better bring a good book or work to do.

Hi Debbie, just wanted to say I'm still always thinking about you and hoping things are going as well as can be expected and that this will be over soon. I hope your treatments continue to produce few side effects. Take care, Michele and Garrett
