Hi everybody. I haven't posted for a few days. I've been quite sick and am just now starting to feel better. Tori has been doing fine. She had her chemo on Friday as per usual after the two weeks off post Doxorubicin. I had my son and girlfriend drop her off that morning. When they got back I found out that our regular vet wasn't there and that another vet would be looking after her. It turned out to be the one vet that I really don't like in the practice. He was the one who told me that I would never get Tori regulated properly because I had too many cats in the house and to prepare myself for her not living very long. He also thought that Tori would never survive her Acute Pancreatitis attack that almost killed her two years ago and thought I should put her down. Well he's been wrong on all points so far thank God. I'm sure he thinks doing chemo on Tori is wrong as well. Anyway she was given the Vincristine with no difficulty and her blood work was perfectly normal. I was rather surprised though that he chose to do the draw from the side of her neck where she has the lymphoma. Doesn't seem quite right to me.
Anyway all is well. Tori has now graduated to the Maintenance Phase of the Chemotherapy. She will stay on the same protocol but it will only be given every 2 weeks instead of weekly. One thing with the fur of her neck shaved away again you can really get a good view of her neck. There is no bump there at all that any of us including the vet who saw her can feel. I'm not going to jinx things by saying the "R" word until DOug sees on the 17th. Could this really be possible or am I just dreaming?
WCR- She's had no problems at all post chemo not even feeling over tired. She may even be toying with a dose reduction soon with that 40 today.
I hope everybody is having a good long weekend. I'm going to brave it tonight and go back to work, Should be interesting.
