    Chemo Round 2 is tomorrow. They're going to cut back the drug that caused my ear pain/ringing by 20%, we'll see if that helps. Head shaved last Monday, today, the fuzz that's left is falling out like snow falls. Still have eyebrows and eyelashes for now.

    Thank you all for your support and kind words. I truly appreciate the time you take to lift my spirits. I'm feeling very alone in this and rereading your comments helps when I'm down.

    I can't imagine what you are going through but maybe one day I will. So sorry for all the freaky stuff you must endure but it seems to be the best protocol Drs. have to offer and I am sure you will get through this with flying colours. You just hang in there and know that we all have your back here at Pet Talk and are wishing the best for you every single second. Sending the biggest, heartfelt hug,brave girl 🌹❤️

    I've reached the half way point. Tuesday's chemo will be Round 3. After that there's just 3 more treatments.

    Thank you everyone.

    My oncologist is changing out the carboplatin that was causing me ear problems for something called cyclophosphamide. This one won't bother my ears but comes with a ton of other nasty side effects. It's going to drop my red and white blood cell count and possibly damage my bladder. Lovely! But it will also kill any cancer that remains.

    Nervous about this round.

    It sounds definitely scary. I'm sure you can trust your oncologist to give you the most effective treatment, while trying to minimize side effects.
    Wishing you strength and sending healing thoughts!
