Beachbum1 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 15 days after surgery, and Taylor easily jumps in and out of the Tuscon (30" height), and we are already out and about stopping at some of his favorite stores, with him going in and getting hugs and kisses and treats. He's eating well, and sleeping well. Just had his groomer come to the house to dremel his nails, and it's nap time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Were you able to get the pathologist's report back yet? The lymph node came back negative for cancer, and it's taking a little longer for the biopsy of the leg, but we know it was bone cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 19 days after surgery, and this morning we went to the bank to deposit the insurance refund check for the amputation/hospitalization. Taylor went marching in, and went ROARING over to the lady at the desk who HAS THE COOKIES!!! We've been back to rides 2-3 times a day for a week and a half, and just started jumping out of the Tuscon 5 days ago and visiting all of our favorite stores. The boys get hugs and kisses and treats. Chemo #4 out of 6 (every 4 weeks) is scheduled this afternoon, as long as the blood work is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4My2Greys Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Chemo #4 was Wednesday, and that will be the last chemo. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is the reason for this being the last chemo. You had posted earlier that this was #4 of 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is the reason for this being the last chemo. You had posted earlier that this was #4 of 6. All is good. Originally, at diagnosis time in mid-January, Taylor oncologist suggested doing 6 rounds. Ohio State, the source of the 4 free rounds of chemo, suggests 4 rounds in their program. Many other greyhound owners have done only 4. According to his doctor, and other doctors, there is not that much of a difference in survival rate between 4 rounds and 6 rounds. His lymph node came back negative for cancer, and his lungs were fine 3 weeks ago today on the day of surgery. He continues on Piroxicam, which is an anti-inflammatory, has some pain relief, and is one of the drugs used in ongoing metronomic therapy. When he goes back in 4 weeks to check his blood work, we will discuss adding Cytoxan, which is an oral form of a chemo maintenance drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
