Sydney's blood work was good yet again. I was very pleased to see that all was well. My vet basically said that after this Friday (Sydney's last chemo), she is going to have to have monthly blood tests, quarterly xrays, and annual ultrasounds. She also indicated she was going to talk with the vet oncologist on the possibility of keeping Sydney on low dose prednisone. She also indicated that in the next few months (no earlier than three), Sydney is going to have to get her teeth cleaned, because she has some painful ulceration's on her gums. We cant get that done now, because it could put her heart at risk. Of course all this fun aftercare wasn't included in my treatment estimate, but these are much more spread out, giving me time to work. The vet also said once the chemo is done (which the last one is the harshest one-Doxorubicin), there is a chance the doxo will have some bad effects after the chemo is completed and we will not know this till we finish. I am going to have to watch Sydney like a hawk to ensure nothing is changing. I mean, if the cancer comes out of remission, then I will have done everything I can do. The doctor said we do chemo all of again (with different drugs), which I can't afford. So everyone please pray that the cancer is permanently gone from her system and she can live a happy and healthy life from here on out. I will continue to update everyone.

P.S. - I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!
