Luv my kitties!
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.

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 for the update. Stay strong, I know you are. You are a hero, even when you don't feel like you are, that's a fact 😘 Wish that I could make you your favorite dish and deliver it with a million flowers 🌹

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!

We are sending along loads of good wishes and prayers and warm healing energies to you!
You will do this. We know how strong you are!

Please try not to worry, I know it's easy for me to say 🤓 I hope you are eating as healthy as possible and maybe listening to music you love, being with freinds or family who you enjoy and lift you up. We are on your side every step girl 💕❤️😻
