Category: Chemotherapy

4th round of chemotherapy today.  switched from Carboplatin to Adreomycin.  It is suppose to be a little harder on the GI tract but no evidence of that now.  anti emetics given already. Lucy is doing tremendously well.  Our walks are shorter, much slower with many rest but she seems very happy and pain free for the most part.  Although pricey, we are so happy that we have chosen this route.  2 more chemo treatments and then a chest x ray.  We hope this path of wellness continues for some time.   Her niece misses Lucy when she goes for treatment.

Not sure why they call this therapy…I guess in the long run it is, but the first dose of Carboplatin has left Lucy in a exhausted stupor.  She is awake but just laying in her crate.  She did go out to pee but did not want to eat this morning.  I hope this only last a day or so.  She was bouncing back from surgery so well.  I guess that I have not yet wrapped my head around the cancer thing.  She must feel so bad. My other poodle Ginger knows that she does not feel well and is a such a loss without Lucy leading the way.
