Postponement

I found out this morning that MGCD does, in fact, cause cystitis (thank you Susan for pointing this out). After several inquiries, the decision was made to postpone Adrienne's treatment next week until we find out exactly what the problem is with her bladder. She sees the urologist on Wednesday for a cystoscopy. Worst case...the MGCD is causing hemorrhagic cystitis. If it's caused by the MGCD, she probably won't be able to continue on the trial. Hopefully, this is something treatable and she can continue because this drug is working well for her. Still, she can't live with these bladder issues.

I hope you find some answers and Adrienne finds some relief. Amazing that she can still get to class much less take a midterm!

Keep going--thinking of you here in Maryland.

Hoping the week off, does you some good Adrienne. And, that this resolves quickly...

So angry, that this had to be/is going on for so long.

Sending you love from the east coast,
