She underwent aggressive treatment, however, in January of 1998 Deb was told that the cancer had returned. At the time, there were no Canadian organizations dedicated solely to lymphoma cancers making it difficult to find relevant information about the disease and available treatment options for Canadian patients, like herself. With the help of Dr. Zanke and three of his patients Deb, Terry Creighton, Jane Mingay, and the late David Pitblado came together to discuss how they could make educational information available to Canadian lymphoma patients. This was the genesis of the Canadian Lymphoma Foundation which eventually became Lymphoma Canada.
