Indy continues to make great progress with her battle against cancer. She has completed two full cycles of CHOP-25 and she started her third cycle today. The difference though is now she goes in every other week and not every week, so in terms of scheduling and cost that is a good thing. She will have a total of 4 cycles and then hopefully she will be in remission. Only time will tell, but we continue to be optimistic as is the oncologist.
Today, she had a Vincristine IV into her left cephalic vein. There were no immediate complications and all appears to be good. Since this is her third cycle, she has had this drug before and ever since Kristina came up with the idea to add scoops of pumpkin in her diet, she has not been have the GI upset that she has had in the past!
The other good news today is that her biochemistry test shows all of her liver values back in the "normal" range, so she is responding well. Way to go Indy!
Overall Indy continues to be her happy self! She has not suffered any decrease in appetite or energy, and she continues to have no restrictions in exercise either. We believe as far as she is concerned, she is living a good life -- and that is what we had hoped for when we started!
Look for the next update in two weeks rather than one...
