Tougher Than Expected

Adrienne's platelets came up a bit today but her hemoglobin took a big drop, making her really tired. No one is sure what the cause is because this hasn't been reported by other patients. Her stomach is also a bit of a problem. One little bit of good news is that responses to the drug (ABT-263) are now being reported at the dose Adrienne is taking. She's been a bit discouraged with the whole thing and feeling overwhelmed with the hospital time and her school work. She's considering dropping a class by the deadline this Friday, which seems like a good idea with everything she has on her plate. She has a couple of days to make a decision.
