!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone...almost all of Adrienne's cancer is gone. I think we're all still in shock (in a wonderful way) but we couldn't have hoped for anything better. There's still some cancer in her lung but it's much smaller and all the other lesions are gone. Thank you to the wonderful radiologist who showed us Adrienne's scans yesterday, comparing them to the previous scans from May. The only weird thing is that she had what they thought was an adenoma (a benign tumor) in her adrenal gland but it's gone too so that means it was Hodgkin's. Honestly, I was a nervous wreck leading up to these scans and lost a few night's sleep and more than a few tears. With the recent coughing and wheezing, I fully expected there to be a lot of progression and was looking into other options. Thank goodness for the news we received.

Adrienne is still having a few unpleasant side effects from the treatment but it's better than it was during the first cycle, much better than chemo, and her blood counts are much improved so she should be able to start cycle 3 on Monday. In the meantime, we have a lot of work to do to get her started at UNLV on August 25 with a little sojourn for her 21ST BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY. Stay tuned for another little surprise.
