I'm sorry about Sasha. I have had two cats with cancer. Smokey the Elder's chemo was doxorubicin and thalidomide(!). This bought her almost a year with a very aggressive cancer which would have killed her in six weeks.
Pink Nose recently finished four rounds of mitoxantrone, for a tumor in his ear canal. In August he goes for a follow-up ultrasound.
Sasha's therapy must be quite mild, since it is so frequent.
My sample of two supports the idea that cats tolerate chemo quite well. Pink Nose didn't even lose his whiskers!
Pink Nose sends head bumpies and purrs and tells Sasha to be good for the doctor. He was such a good patient he has a fan club at the oncologists'!
