Chemo II update

lymphoma treatment
Well,
Beau had his first chemo (round 2) treatment last
Friday, as I reported in the last posting. He’s had
his second one this past friday as well.
In parallel with the chemo, he’s been on prednisone both orally and in eye drop form.
We’re happy to report he once again appears to be responding positively to the chemo. All lymph node swelling is gone. His oncologist wrote “Beau Diddley is looking great today!” in his notes on Friday.
So, we buy some more time with this most precious little guy. Beau is happy. He wags his tail. He HOLLERS at dinner time. When I offered him a walk yesterday, he RAN to the door and barked enthusiastically.
We watched the Basset Hound segment on Dogs 101 together last night even -- though I probably enjoyed it more than he did. (Great show, by the way!)
Enjoying every day, every hour, every minute...
Cheers,
Ken
