Love for Adrienne


Although I claimed to stay away from my blog and updates (and I will, for myself), I needed to take some time today to ask you all a favor...

A dear friend, Adrienne, (the beautiful woman in the middle of this picture)


....who has been the inspiration for my treatments in the clinical trial world, and her mother, Alison who has been a huge medical advocate for me and some many Hodgkin's patients are having a difficult time right now. Although Adrienne has had Hodgkin's for more than half her life -- She is leading a wonderfully colorful-good quality of life (just as I) thus far; therefore, when she was recently admitted to the hospital and now is in the ICU, it was a complete shock to most (especially Adrienne herself, and her family), as we were all just power walking through NYC together two weeks ago.

I ask for you, today, with everything you have. To please send your love, thoughts, and positive prayers to this amazing woman. She is not only a dear friend, but a pioneer in the world of Hodgkin's Cancer treatment everywhere. As she has taken the first steps... for all of us. Into new treatments, new trials, and a new-possible way of living.

And if you have enough love, to give more today -- please stop by her blog. Click HERE. And leave Adrienne and her family, a message of support. Adrienne and Alison are warriors on their own, but even warriors now and then need our love and positive thoughts of support.

Again, please continue to check Adrienne's blog for updates, as they are taking things a day at a time, and our hope is she will be out of the ICU and home with her family, as soon as possible.

Love,
Bekah
