Update, July 10th, 2012:
I'm writing for my mom because she is hospitalized at Stanford. The chemotherapy cocktail finally caught up to her, causing extreme side effects that landed her firmly in a hospital bed. Simone and Suzi are there, and I'm planning to be there in about a week.
Suzi has written about this ordeal in her blog. You can access it here:

And Rich has provided an update today. Here are his words:
Gabriele is doing much better, she remains hospitalized, and she was taken off food for now to give her GI tract a chance to recover. Problem was she had a reaction to the relatively high dose of oral chemotherapy; doctors not worried about giving her smaller doses IV in a week or two. She was more alert yesterday afternoon than she had been in 2 days. Simone and Suzanne are here. We had a good meeting with the oncologist yesterday and we hope to have her home in another two or three days. No visitors yet.
I will update this blog in a couple of days. Love to you all and thank you for your love and energy streaming towards my mom.
Steph
