Stopping Chemo...For Now
We had a long talk this afternoon and agreed that Adrienne has to go off this chemo. The neuropathy is getting worse and she doesn't trust herself to even walk around campus. She fell again on Saturday night and has new weakness in her right hand. This is a tough decision but we feel it's for the best right now, especially given the recent scans. The plan now is for her to recover and regain her strength and hopefully start another clinical trial in a few weeks.

You're in my thoughts, Adrienne.
Sending love and hugs to you.
t.o.g.
I can only imagine how hard a decision stopping this treatment was to make. My heart aches for you all. Hoping that the next trial will be ready soon - and that it comes with less side effects/neuropathy issues.
Always in our thoughts and prayers Adrienne - sending love and hugs to you both.

Rest up Adrienne. I am sorry that you had to stop due to the side effects. How frustrated you must be.
Hopefully a new trial in a few weeks will be your ticket. Take care.
Adrienne, it's for the best. You can't be fallin' all over the place at school! :) I have faith that this next trial will be much better! Rest up, love, you've earned it!

My thoughts and heart are with you beautiful, beautiful women.
Love,

I hope this pause in treatment gives Adrienne's body a chance to recoup some strength. I think of you often, and hope that some rest will make a big difference.
