We are in week 5 Chemo treatment 4.
Doesn’t it see like five weeks that we have been battling cancer? Have made five trip to Madison and my little Coffee dog has been given treatments? Wow.
I talk to lots of people here waiting for their dogs treatments. Since we are an oncology center we talk to a lot of dog parents that have chemo. Many are experiencing problems with the chemo, being sick, losing their hair, very fatigued. Until I talk to them I don’t realize how lucky WE are. COFFEE gets tired and we have to stay on our nap schedule, but it’s the nap schedule for me. So she adjusted to me being sick and having to rest, other than that she doesn’t know she’s sick. Thank you god! We have three more prednisone treatments and she’s finished with that part of the treatment.
This chemo is the worst of the four types. It’s the one that if a dog is going to have a reaction this is the one they do it with, so my little “radioactive red” hopefully will get thru this too!
We were having fun and trying to decide what new nickname for Coffee….radioactive red, nutro nugget, or glow girl. So fun. We have to laugh and have some fun in the middle of the big “c”
