Guest HersheysMom Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks everyone for their good thoughts, advice, and offers to help. It really means a lot. Patricia, I will definitely pm you. Hershey is doing well today! With all of the wonderful drugs they sent us home with he's eating, keeping food down, and no longer has diarrhea. Only side effect we are seeing is w/the prednisone he is peeing every two hours. He really looks like he feels better. He is still exhausted for the most part, but perks up for food and we even took a little ride in the car today. I'm a little ansty about his second treatment because it's one that can affect the white blood cell count and they said they may have to half the dose since his count is already so low they're a little concerned. The treatment he just got this week should help with that some, though, so we can only hope for the best that his bloodwork looks better next week. Paws crossed.

Guest KRKWMU Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear about Hersey. Glad he's doing well with the chemo though. Our girl, Bonnie, was diagnosed with lymphoma this past Febraury. It's been a rollercoaster ride and I wasn't prepared for all of the ups and downs. We just recently switched to different chemo medications and her appetite has been off ever since. Overall though, she's done well and we'd do it all over again. Someone recommended the book "Help Your Dog Fight Cancer" by Laurie Kaplan to me when Bonnie was first diagnosed. It's a great book for those of us with lymphoma dogs (her dog had lymphoma and did very well). Doesn't take too long to get through it, but it's got a ton of good information. Keep us updated on how Hersey is doing. PM me if you ever need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My coworker has this book and is bringing it in tomorrow. They have been fighting osteo with their dog for well over a year now, which is a great amount of time for an osteo dog. Thank you all...I have been so overwhelmed with the words of support and encouragement, the emails and pms I have received. Some of you have your own sick dogs you are tending to and the fact that you took time out of your day to comfort and guide me when you have so much going on with your own dogs really means a lot. Hershey received a package from Susan and Alan today - with toys for him and Sonie, a cute blanket to wrap him up in, a lovely note and a journal to track our journey through this. I was so touched I cried. Hugs to all P.S. - Hershey came to the door to greet both me and the dogsitter today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MZH Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yesterday and today there is a thread running on the Greyhound list about lymphoma. Seems like some dogs are successfully treated with prednisone and nothing else. Also chemo works on some dogs, pred works on others. That revelation blew me away; I had no idea lymphoma could be treated with pred alone! (No experience with lymphoma here; I'm just passing it on in case it might help someone.)

That revelation blew me away; I had no idea lymphoma could be treated with pred alone! (No experience with lymphoma here; I'm just passing it on in case it might help someone.) Wowza! Well he is doing ten times better after a week on Pred, but he only started the Pred one day before his first chemo treatment, so hard to tell what's working better or if it's a combination. I'll have to check that out. Definitely makes me glad he's on Pred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
