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

Unplugged

Or as my friend says I'm "acoustic". Today about 9:30 am my gadget in the fanny pack rang out telling me it's depleted. So I shut it off as instructed, and away to the hospital we went to get disconnected. From what they said, I thought we'd be in and out quickly. Well, an hour later Doug got 12 puzzle pieces in to my 6. That tells you how long we had to wait. Hopefully it won't be that way each Thursday. Once in the room, Terry "pushed" saline, removed the needle (it stung a little), put a band-aid on my port, took my vitals, then we were outta there. No new noticeable side effects, just a bit tired this afternoon, but that was after numerous errands today. So I'm doing good.

So glad you are doing good.
No new side effects? That's sooo good.

I wish for you the best possible endurance during this chemo therapy application.Keep up the good work.

You are a strong, determined young woman. I see you happy and triumphant on the other side of this. Thank you, God, for making it so.

You are my heart. I love you.

It is so amazing that you are doing so well. Prayer works and you are proof of it!!! I love that you have remained strong enough to continue your blog. I don't even know you and yet I feel that I do through your journaling. I miss your monthly newsletters and hope that you get to return to that routine soon. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I have been unemployed since June 2008 and my husband since October 2008 and we have missed the newsletters. They are fun to read and offer a break from our scary little world in Metzler Ranch. We will continue to keep the positive thoughts and prayer going for you and your family. For continued strength and support for each other. I return to work (a new job...yea!!) on Monday so I will try to check your blog periodically as time permits. God bless you and your family for your continued health and how you are all living through example to others that may also need it.
