Twelve Down and Four To Go

Drug cycle number 3 of 4 is finished!  Only 4 more treatments to go!

Today Sarge had a “before-8 AM” drop-off because he got the scary Adriamycin chemo drug today.  So far, he is doing just fine with it.  We did two healthy walks after we got back this afternoon and he has been eating enthusiastically.  The last two times he had this drug, his appetite was decreased on Thursday evening after his Wednesday treatment so we’ll see how things go tomorrow.  I have the Hebrew National weiners thawing in the fridge now.

Overall, Sarge has been doing great, great, great the past few weeks, especially since we’ve gone to the bi-weekly schedule of treatments.  I can’t wait for the treatments to be over, but then he will be on his own to fight off the Big C.  I’m hopeful that Sarge will be a survivor!

P.S. An update on Daphne…she has been off her pain meds since last Saturday.  I would say that she is not totally back to normal but she is getting there.  She cried out in pain a couple times over the weekend, but I have not heard her yelp in a couple of days now.  Let’s hope the neck / spine crisis was a one-time-only incident.
