Follow Up to Second Chemo

Adrienne's second chemo went much more smoothly than her first. With the port, she had no burning in her arm from the infusion. By taking Xantac and Claritin, the hives were much less severe and more easily controlled with Benadryl. She had a cold and cough last week, but is feeling much better now. She continues to go to school almost every day and is keeping up with her studies just fine. She says she doesn't even feel like she's on chemo.

Daniel is dealing well with the upheaval in his life. He particularly enjoys driving his sister to and from school on days when she isn't feeling well. Last week, he joined the track team. His calves are hurting quite a bit but, otherwise, he's having a really good time.

We are continuing our training and fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Team In Training. Adrienne is working hard to increase her speed and her new (very expensive) running shoes seem to be helping both with her speed and pain from neuropathy (caused by past chemo). We continue to be overwhelmed by the support we receive from friends and family.
