The Beau Diddley Diaries

Did somebody say TREAT?!

Quick update

Thanks for the outpouring of support after yesterday’s update on Beau. Here’s some more info.

Beau is currently on the “MOPP” chemo regimen: Mustargen, Oncovin (aka vincristine or VCR), Procarbazine, Prednisone. I did some reading up on it today and found some very useful information here. (I can’t imagine how people/dogs got through any of this prior to the Internet...)

Obviously, I’m no doctor, much less a veterinary oncologist. I can’t say whether it’s due to the prednisone (steroid) or the chemo, but today I can’t even find Beau’s lymph nodes. Yesterday, the two nodes below his tonsils were roughly the size of golf balls. I hope that’s a good sign.

Aroooo’s,

Ken
