well.... it's been about 9 1/2 weeks since Bronxe's been diagnosed with terminal lymphoma cancer.
i'm BEYOND happy to say he's still fighting strong!! he's still on a 1/2 pill of the steroid and 1/2 pill of the nausea medicine daily- so he still has wiggly room.
i was worried about turning the furnace on for the first time. Bronxe always gets an upper respiratory infection from turning it on for the first time. His immune system has always been so poor that he always got the infections from the start of the furance and the start of the AC for the first time. anyway, we were nervous about turning it on, so we've been using our electric fire place. The dr said, when bronxe was diagnosed that if he were to get any infection/sickness then it could kill him So i called the vet yesterday and she called me back around 930pm. i wanted to see if we could try to prevent the sickness before it happened. So we agreed on a preventative- up the steroid to a whole pill for a week, then go back down to 1/2.
She was asking how he was doing and was surprised that i hadn't called her recently. (she doesn't want him in the office because he always gets sick from the visit.).... she said "how's he doing, i have spoken to you in over a month!" i said very well and she went on to say it was a miracle and how amazing it was that he was doing so well!!
obviously we know he's still dying... BUT he's still here... still fighting!! you would never know he was sick!
I cant figure out how to upload pictures on here- for some reason theres no "upload" option in my albums- although i know that doesnt make sense lol Anyway- ive been adding pictures of him on facebook so anyone who has me on there has seen him (and the puppies!!)
not sure if this link will work or not (i might be private): Welcome to Facebook
