Jane completed Cycle 10 on Thursday May 31, 2012 and started Cycle 11 on Friday June 1, 2012. The side effects during the last two weeks of Cycle 10 have been pretty rough on Jane and through it all she has kept up her spirits. To partially offset the full impact of the side effects to provide Jane with additional recovery time, the doctors have delayed the traditional chemotherapy drug, docetaxel, which they suspect is causing most of the challenges. Thus far for Cycle 11, Jane is taking only the experimental drug, ABT 348, and Jane is starting to feel a lot better. The doctors will assess how Jane is doing in the next couple of weeks to plot a path forward. In the meantime, Jane has started physical therapy three days a week to regain her strength and mobility.
Jane and her family really appreciate the continued prayers and support from family and friends. As school ends and the summer season kicks into high gear, we hope everyone has a great summer.
