7 More To Go

Does it sound like we're counting down? I know I am and Adrienne is too. She's been amazing over the last four weeks, getting herself to and from daily treatments, and dealing with the side effects on her own. She has four treatments next week and three the week after, and then she's done. Let's hope that this gets rid of the beast once and for all.

I got a call today from a physician's assistant in the orthopedist's office. Finally, someone is offering to help with the clearance for Adrienne's surgery in December. The PA will contact the oncologist and cardiologist and obtain all of the necessary records and clearances. Any last minute tests will be scheduled, though she didn't think any would be necessary. At her visit on Monday, Adrienne will get some additional labs as well as an echo just to verify that her cardiac function is unchanged. We aren't expecting any surprises there.

Adrienne is very happy to be coming home this weekend, even though it's just for a few days. She's looking forward to some home-cooked food, fish, and sushi this weekend. Her requests certainly run the gamut. The food at school is fine; she's just ready for a change after seven weeks.

So, maybe I missed it somewhere along the way but what is her major?
