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

March 2nd - 6 mo. follow up with Dr. Brown

The last in many follow-ups went well again on Tues., March 2nd. Everything "vital" inside looked very good. I was still concerned about frequent blood in my stool, and told him I thought it was a hemmorroid. After my exam, he agreed, and said it appeared to be irritated. My doctor orders: take one Immodium every other day to reduce the frequency, and to monitor "things" and if it continues, then come in again to have a medicine applied which could help too. Other than that, I'm good-to-go with Dr. Brown for another 6 months!!
