Quick update

lymphoma treatment
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
