AngelWhispers Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) I'm going to start a new thread for Flippers. I'll keep it updated so everyone will know how Flippy is doing on her journey to being cancer free. Flippy's journey may also be useful for others with MCT.(mast cell tumor) Flippy had her first oral round of chemo on Sat. Mar. 7th. She took 60 mgs of Lomustine, also called CCNU. She started her first 7 day dose of 30 mg of prednisone. 25 mg of benedryl twice a day Prilosec once a day Denosyl for liver support Marin for liver support. 1 scoop of Longevity twice a day 1 A Day multi-vitamin I also started Flippy on a raw food diet that is grain free. The benedryl is making her a little sleepy...but baby girl needs her beauty sleep. It's been 24 hours since she received her first chemo and so far she's doing wonderful. I'm trying to keep everything normal and positive for Flippy and the pack. Our motto is "What Flippy wants, Flippy gets." Including my banana this morning...piggy girl! I'll continue updating this first entry daily or as needed. Keep Flippy in your thoughts and prayers. Mar. 09th and Flippy girl is outside running, and playing with the boys, and enjoying our spring weather. It's been 48 hours since chemo and she's acting like it never happened. Her appetite is good, she loves her raw diet and she takes all her pills without complaint...wrapped in cheese and she begs for more. Flippy sends to all her friends, family and fans. Mar. 11 and Super Girl is doing super good!! She started her 5 day round of antibiotics today to help protect her during this time when her white blood cell count will drop. Flippy's white blood cells should start dropping today and reach the lowest peak on Fri/Sat and then start climbing back up. She will be getting bloodwork done this weekend to make sure her white blood cells don't drop drastically low. I've already made arrangements to have the vet come out to Flippy's Chariot to have the blood drawn, so she doesn't have to go inside to be exposed to germies. Her immune system will be at it's lowest and I don't want to risk having her exposed to anything. Super Girl is eating good and all other functions are normal. She's making this look easy!
