Potomacpupsmom Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Darn. I hope she responds to the chemo. Most dogs do pretty well with chemo- I know our Beka was fine with it and had no side effects. Good luck to you Sweep and let that medicine do its work!

ramonaghan Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Thanks, everyone. She's getting her first chemo now. I'm a little nervous because they're using doxorubicin and Dr. C (who replied immediately, bless him) recommends lomustine instead because it's more effective, but that ship has sailed for now. I'll ask her onco about it later today. Edited June 24, 2021 by ramonaghan Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

I'll ask her onco about it later today. Okay, they said lomustine is their "rescue protocol" if doxo doesn't work. So I'm comfortable with them and with the plan (as comfortable as I can be). Chest rads were clear. Blood work normal (WBC and RBC counts good). We pick her up in an hour.

racindog Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Love and positive energy to Sweep and her family. I had amputation (RF) & chemo for Ivy when she was 10. It was a good thing & gave us good times we enjoyed. Would do again. Praying for Sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Nashville summers. I used to spend a lot of time there for work and one summer even had an apartment there. Pretty nasty and very similar to the Maryland summers I grew up with. We don't even refer to summer here. We just call it 5 months of Hell. I hope Sweep is bouncing back quickly.
