Fourth Chemo Treatment

Posted by: | May 8, 2013 | 3 Comments |

Buffy had her 4th chemo treatment last Friday and she again did really well. She still amazes me with her willingness to co-operate. If you knew our neurotic girl seeing her just lay there with me as they put the catheter in and then put the drug through with saline would amaze you too.

The drug does seem to zap her energy for a few days afterwards which means her walks, which she still insists on, are shortened drastically. On Sunday I took her and Odin for a half hour joyride instead of a walk. Thought it would be good for her to have a fun change. She was so exhausted from all the excitement of going out, watching the world go by, having the wind in her face and sniffing all the smells out there that when we got home the poor baby was almost dragging her butt on the ground to get from the car to her bed for a nap.

Yesterday and today she was back to her 1k walk and enjoying every step of it.
