<p>Please keep fingers crossed that all is okay with my best buddy. Last year at this time she was Dx'd with lymphoma and we did a course of chemo, which was successful and gave us a great year with her feeling great and energetic. However, I recently felt something I hadn't noticed before under her chin and am worried that it might have come back. We have an appt. with the vet Wed. I should be grateful that we had an extra year of fun with her but I'm still not ready to let her go. Of course,…</p>

Of course, when the time comes, I'll help her go if she's in pain, but I hope that's not going to happen yet. Healing thoughts please!</p> Sophie Updatetag:mycorgi.com,2015-02-03:1150197:Topic:19020172015-02-03T23:05:23.977ZChris Payerlhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/ChrisandSophie
We are about a month and a half into Sophie's chemo treatments. She started off great, then had trouble with the third treatment and wound up blowing a cluster seizure (related to the chemo or not, we don't know--- it may have just been her time as it was nearly a year since her previous one). She was supposed to do four weekly treatments, have a week off, then do four more weekly treatments. We took the break after three to let her body settle down again after the seizures, and then 5 weeks on…
We are about a month and a half into Sophie's chemo treatments. She started off great, then had trouble with the third treatment and wound up blowing a cluster seizure (related to the chemo or not, we don't know--- it may have just been her time as it was nearly a year since her previous one). She was supposed to do four weekly treatments, have a week off, then do four more weekly treatments. We took the break after three to let her body settle down again after the seizures, and then 5 weeks on again. We are in the 4th of those 5 weeks after the break. This last treatment seemed to perk her up rather than bring her down! She went on a nice long walk Saturday, visiting her friends at the hardware store and mooching treats and rubs. Sunday, she enjoyed the blizzard conditions and Monday, exploring the drifts in the back yard. The vet has told us she is in early remission, but we should continue the treatments to ensure the nodes don't grow back right away. We are SO happy!!!! Sophie is such a little trooper!!! Never barks, growls, or shows her teeth regardless of what they do to her. They are amazed when I tell them about her hijinx at home; she is so sedate and calm for them. :-) We love her so!!! Thank you to all for your kind words of support, healing thoughts, and prayers.
