Day 1, Cycle 2 -- No Go

We arrived at the clinic bright and early today happy that the traffic wasn't bad. Adrienne had her labs drawn, saw the doc, looked at Friday's chest xray that shows possible slight improvement and no new disease!!!! (okay so we have low expectations), Adrienne's ready for chemo, and then ... the trial coordinator let us know that Adrienne's ANC was less than 1,000, too low for treatment. And now we don't even get a week off because Adrienne has to go in each day for GCSF shots. I could do it at home but we have to order injectables through a mail order company and couldn't get them for several days.

Overall, Adrienne is feeling very tired and her stomach still bothers her from to time but, as usual, she looks wonderful.

Curt's family is going back to Seattle tomorrow after a great visit. I think we'll be happy to skip the Strip for a little while, at least until Adrienne's aunt is here the weekend after next.

Oh, I"m sorry to hear that Adrienne didn't make counts. I hope the GCSF does its thing so you can get started . . . and then finished.

Thinking of you two, constantly.

Adrienne -- so sorry to hear about your stomach, and not being able to get treated this week.

Hope this week serves more as rest, as your counts start to climb more.

Sending... tons of love, and huge hugs,

Bekah
