Good Report from the Doc

Thankfully, Adrienne's scans from last week look really good. The PET was negative. The CT shows some very tiny lymph nodes (less than 5 mm) with no uptake. Uptake indicates active disease, and she shows none. The plan right now is to continue chemo for another two months and then watch and wait. If Adrienne relapses more than a year out, we can even try this chemo again. There are several promising treatments on the horizon but we will wait until they are more proven and the side effects are known, particularly in young people.

Claremont McKenna College it is!!! After all the hard work and nervous waiting, Adrienne has decided that CMC is her choice. With the McKenna Achievement Scholarship and her National Merit Scholarship, they've made the offer hard to refuse. Adrienne loved it during her visit there and felt that she would be happy there. We're all so excited for her.

Daniel has been sick with a cold but is feeling better this afternoon. Curt seems to be over his jetlag, enjoying the baking I did while he was away. Adrienne and Daniel are off to visit their dad in Santa Barbara on Friday, leaving a quiet house. Hmmm.
