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
Final surgery date set
I just heard from Dr. Brown's scheduling, and it's looking like August 24th for my final surgery to reverse the illiostomy and get my plumbing back to normal again. Yeah. They say there's no bowel prep work necessary (yeah), and that I should expect to be in the hospital only 2 to 3 nights (yeah? I guess... it's better than the first one which was a week).

...and here I was bummin' about having to go to the dentist that day! Just kidding - you're SO close to being all done with this! Wow - what a year...
WOW Debbie, that is wonderful news! Pretty soon this will all be a fuzzy memory in the past... You have worked so hard to reclaim your health and done it like a full time job (24/7)-- while running your own business. Do you REALLY have any idea how remarkable you are? I just watch you and Doug in awe and respect. My cup runneth over with love and admiration. I am so happy for you!
