Visited the vet today for her last Adriamycin chemo treatment (1-hour drip). We made it past 4 months and her 5th treatment. She has to take her last set of Cytoxin pills for another couple weeks then she is done with chemo and we watch for 7-8 weeks before another checkup.
Her tests came back great. White blood cell counts and her energy level is great. She weighted in at a healthy 48 pounds, which is a gain of 10 pounds after her initial surgery to remove her spleen. We also did an ultrasound. Things looked pretty good. The vet said that there was a small nodule on the liver, but it appeared to be more related to age so nothing to over-worry about yet.
Although her chemo has cost plenty, it has been worth it. Besides her treatment days, she is pretty much the same crazy dog. She has surpassed the average life expectancy of dogs with this type of cancer. I'm hoping that after her chemo pills she gets even more energy and can get back to giving Tuck some hell.
New photo coming soon. Just as she got all her hair back, she had to get shaved for the ultrasound.
