BuffyTheDane

Late in the evening of July 10th Buffy suffered a seizure, something I had never witnessed before, and it was as scary as all hell. Not just for us and Odin but Buffy as well. I can’t tell you how long it lasted because it seemed to go on forever, which of course isn’t possible. […]

Our new arsenal for the ‘invisible to the naked eye’ battle Buffy’s body is fighting arrived today. I have a lot of reading to do but have already given her today’s dose of K9 Immunity Plus. Of course the ‘yummy’ beef flavoured wafers were deemed by Buffy to not be ‘yummy’ at all and not […]

Yesterday Buffy was scheduled for chest x-rays and then her 6th and final chemo treatment. Whether more treatment would follow was dependent upon how she was doing. Unfortunately the x-rays weren’t good. I had been hoping that the chemo had kept the tumor they had found at her 3rd treatment in check but unfortunately that […]

Buffy on her 1km walk this morning. She is doing really well and had her 5th chemo treatment on Monday. On the 5th June she will celebrate her 4 month ampuversary.    

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 […]

Buffy had her 3rd chemo treatment today and it was also time for chest x-rays. On the positive side – she co-operated with them and they didn’t need to sedate her to do the x-rays. Yeah, no groggy sick girl. On the negative – they found a spot on her lung. It was always going […]

Buffy had her 2nd chemo treatment Friday 22nd. She was a very good girl, didn’t need sedation and lay quietly on the ground with me whilst the chemo was administered. She cried a couple of times that afternoon when we were back home but I think that was just to check she still had the […]

Buffy was meant to have her second chemo treatment last Friday the 15th March but she was running a bit of a temperature so the oncologist decided to delay by a week. They had already given her a sedative to try and ease her anxiety (she can work herself up into a real state) and […]

22/2/13 Today was a day I had been looking forward to, another milestone and a day to hopefully kick the crap out of any cancer cells that may be lurking, but also a day I’d been dreading, one where her body is pumped full of toxins. The plan the oncologist has drawn up for Buffy […]

19/2/13 We just got back from Roseworthy and I got back my ‘piece of mind’. Clearly it’s me who needs the chill pill or maybe a really large scotch. The vet took the stitches out whilst we were there and gave her a really thorough once over. He has changed her antibiotics & given her […]
