    WOOHOO!!!! She looks just darling sitting there on your shoulders - and it's nice to see YOU in the picture also!

    Did Sydney make that thank you sign all by herself? What a talented and beautiful girl!


    HUGS!!!! I bet your mom and BF are almost as happy as you are!

    Sydney is still doing ok, although the last Doxo has definitley affected her. She has been laying around more than usual. I have been still been able to her to purr, so I havent been worried yet. Her eating has subsided again, so I am going to try baby food again. The saga continues . Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!
    Sincerely,

    UPDATE: Sydney Latest Bloodwork

    Sydney had to go in for her blood test and the results were disheartening. Her ALT levels were elevated, and the vet seems to think it is one of three things:

    1. the cancer has returned
    2. she is in the beginning stages of liver failure
    3. the liver is excreting high levels of ALT from all of the medications


    I am so very worried, because I have spent so much time trying to help her. She has been pretty lethargic lately, and I could tell she wasn't feeling her best. She has also lost some weight, which makes me worry as well - she is 8.5 lbs now, when she started the chemo 6 months ago she was almost 14 lbs. It is so very stessful. The vet gave me a medication, which is supposed to help liver cells from dying and protect healthy tissue. Please pray that this will get her ALT levels down. She will be going back to the vet in two weeks to have her levels checked again...
    Sincerely,
    Kat

    Major prayers for Sydney and you. After all the meds and chemo, I hope it is her liver getting rid of the stuff.

    Is there anything that can help the liver detox more? More water? Milk thistle?

    Looking forward to the medication making Sydney her old self again.

    Prayers on the way for Sydney to start feeling better again! I hope it's not the cancer returning!! Like Candace said, maybe her liver needs to detox. Hopefully that's all it is.

    Hugs to you!!

    Prayers for Sydney and you both, that the medication will help her liver and that it isn't cancer or liver failure, and that Sydney will feel better and be stronger soon.

    Love,
    Pat and my Sydney (and my other cats too)

    I'm so sorry that Sydney isn't as well as she was in the last few months. I hope this is just a temporary hiccup in her recovery. Prayers that her liver can be helped with some meds so she is feeling better again. Please update when you can. Hugs to you and Sydney.
