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

Blood Draw results

Yesterday's appointment at the hospital was relatively brief, they accessed my port, and did a blood draw. Results were printed out fast, and Dr. Basche took a look and said the red and white blood cell counts were within normal range. We asked if my port could be taken out since it won't be used during the last surgery, and we got the green light. So that procedure will be on May 28. The rest of the results have been faxed to Dr. Brown whom we see today at 1pm for a consultation and probably an exam. He'll give us a better idea of when surgery can be.

And kudos to my cousin Glenn who was diagnosed with lung cancer this past winter, and now after radiation, chemo and surgery has just been declared cancer-free!! Big hugs and congrats to him.
