Hi Friends and Family,
Here’s an update on Gabriele. We all thank you for your concern, your prayers, and your healing thoughts. Gabriele is an in-patient at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles where she was admitted 11 days ago for a low platelet and white blood cell count due to the last round of IV chemotherapy. It is the same drug that put her in Stanford Hospital in July, only last time the medication was given orally, and this time the drug was given IV. Her oncologist felt that IV wouldn’t be as toxic; the side effects were sure different.
Her white blood count and platelets are starting to go up, her spirit remains strong, and she keeps saying she is happy; Stephanie, Suzanne, Simone, and I are at the hospital every day with her, and we feel the care she is getting is excellent. The doctors are trying to get her labs up to an acceptable level so she is strong for a major surgical procedure to remove the tumors.
I will continue to respond to email when I can.
Best,
Richard
