    Cole to the oncologist today

    It's been over a month since Cole saw Dr. Glenna. I know she won't be doing extensive tests for some time yet so today shouldn't be too lengthy or expensive!

    He is doing well. Right now he's meowing beside my chair wanting head rubs.

    His insulin dosage is decreasing also. He was at 4U, is now at 2, and may well head to 1.5.

    All is good in Cole's kittyland.

    AND - he used to take 4 units of insulin (Lantus) every 12 hours. Now the vet says we are going to try 1.5 as he's still dropping a bit too low. She says this shows the cancer treatments are working. However, his levels started changing at least 6 weeks before his surgery and 8 before the chemo started. I was giving him transfer factor in his evening meal.

    It's morning and he's beside my chair, purring and waiting for cheek and head rubs (he has already received a few!)

    And I hope getting his insulin right will help his over-appetite. The oncologist and her assistant told me he HAD lost weight - he was 7.6 at his last appointment and yesterday he was 7.59!
