It's all up from here.... I still feel the effects of last week's chemo, I'm tired, winded and feel a little numb all over, and am constantly putting on moisturizer but I know with each day I'll be feeling better and better - back to normal. Tomorrow I get another infusion of fluids to hydrate me, so it's back to the hospital again, but it'll make me feel better.
I just made my follow-up appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Brown for May 20th where he'll just check me out; and they've penciled me in for surgery the day after Memorial Day. That will work in well with my work schedule, allowing time to heal before the next newsletter comes around.
All our best to everyone!!
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'.

'Feel good' days from now until the feel GREAT days that are just around the corner. What a wonderful thing!
Did we tell you that Tony Martin was here the other day and is VERY MUCH looking forward to your bright smile adorning Walnut? He said his band is getting back together briefly, I think for the sweet corn festival (in early August). Maybe we can work on him and make it happen for the Fourth. I don't even know if I will be here, but I have a picture in my mind's eye of all us girls (and guys too- why not?) on top of a (very sturdy) bar and dancing our butts off to his music, celebrating your good health! What a joyful daydream. Gotta see it to believe it, right? Walnut needs you!
When you say the day after Memorial day--are you talking about the day after Dad's birthday? Love Laurey

i hope you are starting to feel better now? : ) !! that the tingling and nausea are starting to fade? there is nowhere to go now, but up! oh happy day... thank you lord... and i hope you had a good Mother's Day weekend... can't wait to hear about it. I have been thinking of you and your little family, knowing it must have been very special. I have a few pictures to send along to you, and will get on that soon. A great picture of Chris, and our visit with her was fun. She misses all of you too, and like us, cannot WAIT to see you in June/July...
