Right after the last treatment, I called my regular vet’s office (who is staying in close contact with the oncologist). I asked the tech to have her give me call back if she wanted the post-chemo chest x-ray the next day or at the 10-14 day mark, to coincide with post-chemo labs/bloodwork. She opted for imaging at the 10-14 mark. The suspense has been distracting.
I dropped Roscoe off yesterday morning, and as I transferred the lead, he jumped up on me, gifting me a small scratch (in an apparently very vascular part of my forearm). I knelt down and gave him a reassuring hug and kiss on the side of his mouth. After the hug and a kiss, he happily trotted back into the treatment area. I left the vet’s office, wondering…. and waited…
And waited…
The phone rang in early afternoon, “Roscoe is ready. There is no need for Vitamin K on this round. Neutrophils are in the normal range. The oncologist said we’ll continue with the next two rounds of Carboplatin, and re-image the chest in three months;” The implication is that the chest x-ray is clear. He can finish the chemo, and is still a candidate for the osteosarcoma vaccine…
Again, I’m thankful for another day in the life of Roscoe.
Great news! So glad he is doing well … YAY ROSCOE!!!!
Oh and the picture… having my Roscoe fix at 5:30 am, going to be a good day 🙂 🙂
Keep doing what you are all doing, this is just pawsome!
Hugs,
Jackie and Huckleberry
