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

#4 and half way!!
Dr. Basche was not in today so we met with Dr. Rifkin, he has a great "bedside manner", we really liked him. He says my levels are all good, and that Basche is doing everything he would be doing for my case. My treatments started later than usual, 1pm, so we left about 4pm just in time to get to my acupuncture by 4:30. Other than the tingling starting in my hands again, I'm not feeling too bad! Back at home I got to open another Sharon-gift, which this time was "Athena - Goddess of Wisdom", along with the story of her (which I'll read when I'm down in bed) came a Wisdom Ornament of a girl reading and says "A lifelong love of learning." Well this whole journey has been a learning experience, and we'll be taking what we learned and applying our whole life long. Thanks Sharon. And thanks to all who have replied to Doug, and commented on my blog. My friends and family rock!

Hi Debbie,
You wrote on my caringbridge site, you got from Laurie and Jon White. I wanted to take the time to read yours and add to your support as well. I am not as far as you as I have not choose my treatment yet. But I believe we can be of great support and resource to eachother. I hope the best for you and your treatments, it sounds like you have been a real trooper. I will keep checking back :)
Onward and upward girlfriend. You are something else. Glad to hear you're moving right along thru this even though it's a bumpy road sometimes.It's so great to see how proactive you are in finding so many alternatives to aid in not only your recovery but knowledge that will be with you for your personal ongoing health. Friends, family, sunshine, and fried pickles, the foundation! Thank you for sharing your experiences and new found wisdom. It makes it easier to align to your prayer needs (positive affirmations only, of course)even if you don't hear from people like me but once in awhile, you're always in my heart. You're a great inspiriation and I'm so honored to be included in your journey. Big hugs, Ruth
