After completing all of her cardiac tests this week, Adrienne saw the cardiologist at City of Hope today. We were very happy to hear that she doesn't have heart failure. She is going to start taking an ACE inhibitor called Enalapril to ensure that she doesn't go into heart failure. Needless to say, we're very relieved. The only disturbing item is that she has low blood pressure in her legs (she had a test that measures that) with no real explanation. The low blood pressure is responsible for her blue feet, which is likely to get worse with the heart medication. The doctor wants her to wear warmer shoes and see if that will help her circulation.
Adrienne's oncology checkup went well also. She will have PET and CT scans in three weeks to make sure she is still in remission. We feel pretty confident but these tests always make us a bit nervous waiting for the results.
Adrienne is having a really good time at college. Last night, Salman Rushdie came to speak at The Ath. Adrienne didn't get to go to the dinner because she wasn't on campus when registration for the event started but she got to see his presentation in person. Her response, "oh my gosh, he was so interesting."
