Guest KRKWMU Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I called and talked to DH last night. His first questions was "Do you think this happened because I didn't give her the Chinese herbs this morning?". He is beating himself up thinking that he caused Bonnie's lymph nodes to enlarge. DH thought we had run out of the herbs, but we have another bottle of each in the kitchen cabinet (which I had forgotten about too). As some of you know, we've had a rough 2008. His dad passed away a few months ago from a rare form of cancer. Everything with Bonnie hit us right before his dad got so sick. Drew says he's bound and determined to make this a good 2008. Bonnie is doing OK so far. The last injection went really well, so I'm not expecting too many problems. I am anxious to hear what Dr. Couto has to say. I'm sure we will be adding one of the other medications back. Those were the ones that made her so nauseous. I'm not going to worry about it until we figure out what's going to happen.

CaliforniaGreys Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hoping for the VERY BEST for Bonnie. I hope your DH stops beating himself up. He's been through enough too Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HersheysMom Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thinking of Bonnie, hoping DH stops blaming himself, and hoping Bonnie has an uneventful week after her Vincristine injection. (Also, tell DH some people believe that skipping days every so often with herbal remedies actually make them more effective on the theory the body is less likely to build up a resistance - maybe it will make him feel better.)

Guest KRKWMU Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just an update for everyone... We heard back from Dr. Couto. He isn't too concerned about the lymph node enlargement either. Both vets seem to just think it's a bump in the road and that Bonnie isn't coming out of remission. Thank goodness, but I'm still worried. DH and I are going to check her out everyday and keep a close eye on things. Bonnie got her Leukeran dose today, so we're continuing on with her current protocol. She's been eating MUCH better and plays like before. Thanks for all of your good thoughts and prayers. Here's my chant *Just a bump in the road, everything will be fine * *Just a bump in the road, everything will be fine * *Just a bump in the road, everything will be fine * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
