I was diagnosed on March 5, 1999 at the age of 38.

Debbie

When diagnosed, my first reaction was to give this cancer to God and let Him deal with it. I immediately felt wrapped in angels wings, and I have been ever since.

I have a wonderful son who was seven when I was diagnosed. His faith is stronger even than my own, and whenever I doubted the value of continuing treatment, he kept me going.

I am also blessed by a dedicated and loving husband who, though terrified of doctors, supported and sustained me throughout the treatment.

One thing I found particularly useful was a weekly update I provided via email to all friends and family. I originally sent 'the deb report' to about 20 people. By the time I finished treatment, I was sending to 89 people, and I know of over 200 that received it.

Some days it was totally upbeat; some days, it reflected my fears. Always, it asked for prayer and support.

I believe I am here today because of the prayer support and dedication of these people who supported me. My God has sustained me because He still has a use for me.

My work has continued to allow me to achieve, while giving me full venue for my treatment requirements. My family has uplifted me, and gathered near to me.

I am blessed beyond measure.

Time In A Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that'd never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how
They were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
