It has been a pretty surreal evening for Leslie and I. We had a consultation with the Vet late this afternoon. We will be switching Sam to a "rescue" protocol treatment. A combo of L-asparaginase, lomustine, and prednisone. This is an additional University of Wisconsin protocol. We are hoping for the best we can get here with additional months with Sam. She is back to grunting again. Maybe there is some internal congestion caused by the cancer. We do not know. Back, in March, I was hopefully for a couple years, now, reality has set in. Those years may very well be months. Although I am hoping for many many months.
It is very interesting to think about this situation. Sam is acting normal, eating, playing with her tennis balls, and bossing around her sister. But, she is quickly being overcome with cancer. Very surreal. Both Leslie and I know that we need to be positive for Sam. That is what she would want if she could tell us. This is something I just know.
We are looking forward to a weekend in the mountains with the Corgis. Some swimming adventures await!
