First Cycle Done

Adrienne finished her last dose of the drug yesterday. When she first started, it made her gag but she now takes it with orange juice and that helps. She had a fairly long hospital day yesterday for some end of cycle tests but, thankfully, she didn't have to do the eight hours of blood draws. The wheezing has returned but the doctor said that can happen when a tumor breaks up; we're hoping that's the case. The itching was very bad earlier in the week but better the last couple of days. The waxing and waning of the itching is typical for her. Except for a quick blood draw on Saturday, Adrienne gets a week off from the hospital. Woohoo!!!!

I'm so glad that Adrienne gets some time off, and that she's finished with the cycle. Take care.
