Greetings. Beau has completed another two weeks of the MOPP protocol. He remains happy and enthusiastic -- gave me quite the slobberfest welcome when I got home from Belgium last night.

I noticed his energy was a little low this morning, but that’s to be expected after two weeks on MOPP. It’s a very strong protocol. I took him to his vet today for a blood test. Some of his blood numbers were slightly low, just on the margins. We’re of course hoping that these next two weeks of rest time will help him bounce back and he’ll be plenty strong.

Meanwhile, we haven’t noticed his chest symptoms changing much. His coughing is very rare. We’re hoping that the mass in his chest is being held at bay by the MOPP, but he’ll have a new round of chest x-rays (“radiographs” as they call them these days) done in two weeks, so we’ll know better then.

So we continue to continue, taking one day at a time. That cliché certainly has taken new meaning for us these days, but it surely is important when you’re battling against a disease like lymphoma. Every happy day is good.

AROOOOOOOO’s,

Ken
