We have had some good meetings with Dr Landry over the past few days. He has laid out some options. We have decided to commit to the proven University of Wisconsin protocol. It is proven, and I personally would like to give Sam the best fighting chance, and every opportunity to extend her life that we can provide. There are some other options at CSU, that we may also consider in conjunction with the confirmed treatment.
The treatments will start next week. Surprisingly, dogs deal with chemo treatment much better
than humans do. I will be taking her once a week, for 25 weeks, for the
IV chemo administration. She will then have a better than 90% chance of
going into remission. The cancer will return, conservative estimates
say a year and we will fight again, but I will gladly accept the additional
time to spend with her.
Treasure every moment with your pups! They are a gift.
I am catching up on some work product today and Sam is right here, as per usual, by my side. Relaxing on her Las Vegas style, Corgi day bed.
