Adrienne graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude (with latin honors) from Claremont McKenna College on Saturday, May 16. I don't think there was a dry eye in our family, including Adrienne's. We were all so proud and this was a huge milestone for her, being in treatment for her entire four years. There were many wonderful accomplishments to celebrate for everyone but I think her's was quite a bit more than the average.
Now for the not so good news. Adrienne saw the doc yesterday to check out her lungs again and there's more progression. We aren't panicked yet but we definitely need to get her on another treatment quickly. We hope to have a plan by the end of the week, and if City of Hope can't help, we'll be spending some time in New York. Once again, we wait.
