debby_oggDebby Franke Ogg’s story of unexpected remission from stage 4 nodular lymphoma was the basis for the 1988 feature film a Leap of Faith, also called A Question of Faith starring Anne Archer and Sam Neill. Following a miscarriage, aged 40; Debby was told that she had nodular lymphoma; a poor prognosis & no cure. She chose not have conventional treatments of the day as she was told there was little hope of success. Although she had no hope with her treatment; she encourages patients to accept viable medical treatments. In 2013; as a 27 year survivor, Debby continues to inspire others. Now a therapist based in New York, Debby helps her clients find their own prescriptions for optimal living and self-expression as a complement to whatever cancer therapy they may be having. She helps patients regain clarity, control, purpose, authenticity and joy in their lives by using life’s challenges as a gateway to self-discovery and healing.
