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

Healing or repairing

This afternoon I visited my acupuncturist and filled him in that there is leakage from one area to another that needs to be repaired, and so he adjusted his treatment to include electro-therapy in the pelvic area which promotes blood flow which in turn will help in the healing process. If it heals on its own (a very low probability), we'd be in a much better situation. I came home to hear Doug talking to Dr. Brown on the phone, he later told me that this is very serious, and if not done properly could lead to a permanent colostomy. There are a few procedures he wants to do next week, which will allow him to see the problem up close and personal. Wish us luck and that God will put his healing hands on me. Until later....
