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

Cancer Center Open House

Doug and I attended an open house at the Sky Ridge Cancer Center last night. They sent out invitations to tour the updated facility and see their new resource center, meet with the physicians, learn about recent advancements. It was beautifully catered, and was well-attended. We were particularly impressed in the fact that they resource center provides free wigs for those who need them, and they're very nice. We mingled with some other survivors. I was given the last pink scarf by a breast cancer clothing rep, I didn't go into details that I didn't have breast cancer, but a few minutes later I had a wonderful conversation with a lady who is a 5 year breast cancer survivor, so I took it off from around my neck and wrapped it around hers. She gave me a big hug, and we both teared up. It was a very nice time, especially going there under much better circumstances.
