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.

With much love,

Unplugged after #4

I'm feeling a little drained today, but not near what I felt last round. The Dr. had lessened the dose just a bit, and it really helped. I dropped off to sleep for about a hour before my pack beeped about noon and it was time to go to the hospital to get unplugged. It went smooth. They said I looked MUCH better than last time. Although my blood pressure was unusually lower than normal, I seemed hydrated and didn’t need the saline infusion, but did get the Nulasta shot in my tummy to ensure my white blood cells counts stayed up. So, I'm back in bed, hoping for a couple more zzzz's this afternoon.

Hey My Debbie,

I know you said you liked fried pickles but for now forget them.
When your blood pressure is down and you want to keep your hydration,
eat a big fat dill pickle. It will do you wonders! Your peppiness will return:)

Love you

I'll try that mom. We're dill pickle rich. My peppiness does need a boost today.
