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'.

Yoga
Andrea came with me to my very first Yoga class. A year ago InnerConnections Yoga in town was kind enough to present me with 5 free classes to use when I beat cancer. So I guess it was time! It was easy, yet hard. I was certainly the least limber person in the class and I needed to use the block as not to have to bend as far. Catching myself in the wall-length mirror, I was pleased with my posture, and my balance most of the time, but had to occasional pull my shirt down so my road-map of scars on my stomach wouldn't show. At the very end of the hour-and-a-half class when we finished in a sort of prayer pose and saying “nahmesdae” (sp?) to each other, it hit me what I’d just accomplished. Andi saw tears puddled in my eyes as I rolled up my mat, and asked if I was okay. I was. I’m not sure when I’ll go back, but I do know I’m very glad I went today.
