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

No additional surgery

Dr. Brown called today, and after consulting with two other doctors, they concluded that an additional surgery will not be necessary!! I will need to meet with another doctor soon, and there will be some things I'll need to do to help repair that area damaged by radiation, but no surgery is WONDERFUL news. He also said they're on MY schedule now for that final "reversal" surgery, there is no hurry at this point, so we're going to get through our summer and assume late August for that. Thanks again for everyone's words of encouragement, unending acts of kindness, and all your prayers - they ARE working! There's still a ways to go until all the chemo is out of my system, but I am feeling better every day!

You mean so much to me! Having you well and strong again is my prayer.
Keep up the good work but don't over do.

I love you more than I can say.
