Talked to Dr O
He's so nice, saying to call his cell any time, even at home. He thinks this is all some mix of disease and infection and that, given Adrienne's tenuous respiratory status, Rituxan would be too dangerous. The Rituxan causes a very mild inflammatory response in the lungs of most people and they don't even notice it but it could be fatal for her. Add to that, its too slow in working. I'm trying to get the oncs together by phone either tonight or first thing in the morning to figure out what type of chemo to try. Doing nothing is too dangerous but doing treatment could be equally dangerous. Let's just hope Dr. O can pull off another miracle for her.

Oh this is so scary, keep up the incredible advocacy Allison, keep up the truly courageous fight Adrienne and keep up all the loving caring support Kurt, Daniel and everyone else. With much love and admiration Penny & Andrew
Adrienne,
I was just a year older than you are now when I took care of you. You've got to fight this thing and get well fast as I would like you to meet my little baby boy Tyler.
I know you are a strong and determined young woman. You can do it!
All my love! Annie
Dr. O is awesome! We're hoping and praying for a great plan.
What a wonderful doctor; he must be if you think so, too. I, too, hope Adrienne rests well tonight and you, too. Thank you for letting us know how things are going. xoxoxoxo
Sending more love to you both - you think it's incredible that Dr O is so good to you, I suspect it's because he can see how incredible both you and Adrienne are..........praying for that miracle and for getting Adrienne out of there soon..........<3
I'm so glad you were able to speak with Dr. O, Alison. Sending prayers and positive thoughts to Adrienne, you, Curt, and Daniel.
Love,
Lisa
Thinking of you both often...sending lots of love and hugs.
I'm leaving for Fresno this morning to spend the weekend with Katie and Kyle and doing wedding planning stuff... but will have use of Katie's computer to check in.
Hope the next few days bring a plan for new chemo treatment and continued lung/breathing improvement.
Love,
Susan xoxox
