New and Improved "Jessica version 35"

Jessica had a wonderful birthday and was overwhelmed by the outpouring of cards, calls, messages, flowers, gifts and well wishes for her 35th birthday.   She had a relaxing day at the spa followed by a lovely dinner at Cava, a Tapas Restaurant in Portsmouth.  She is so grateful to everyone for their kindness, generosity and support.  It made her birthday very special.

All of the well wishes and relaxation put her in a good frame of mind to resume treatment today.  She reached "max saturation" on one of the medicines (oxaliplatin) which is what has been causing the drop in her platelets, so that medication was removed from her protocol for now.  She went 12 rounds with it, several of which were at a higher than normal dosage. Most people can only tolerate 4-6 rounds.  She is a tough cookie with a soft heart!
