Day 56 ... That means it has been 8 weeks since Pompom started his chemotherapy. He still coughs and gags sometime but we do not know if those are related to lymphoma. According to his doctor, his lymph nodes are normal.
By just looking at him, nobody can tell he is sick. I sometime forget he is sick too. That is a good thing. I hope he will keep his health. I am not ready ... I guess I will never be ready.
Pompom is recovering from the chemo treatment on Saturday morning. He is doing vowel well this time. I cannot really tell how he reacts to chemo. There is no swell by cancer on his lymph nodes. That is a great sign. Sometime because Pompom is doing so well, you forget he is fighting a cancer.
I have a business trip coming up on February. I really hope Pompom keeps his health while I am gone.
There is Pompom in this picture.
Can you find him?
Pompom is recovering from chemo today. He is doing little better than he had been before. I have noticed Pompom has less gray hair ... His hair is very soft and black. Is that a side effect of chemo?
Pompom finished his 7th weekly chemotherapy. I thought it was the 8th, but I guess the first one does not count. Today's chemo is something Pompom gets sick usually. I will wait and see how it goes.
My daughter went back to NY last night and will be back this summer. I want to make sure my daughter will see Pompom again. I will do my best to treat Pompom.
After a morning walk, he got wet this morning.
"Nothing is friendlier than a wet dog."
Pompom will have his last weekly chemo tomorrow morning. After tomorrow, it will be every two weeks for 8 times.
My daughter is going back to NYC tonight. I think she will be back this summer. I really hope she will be able to see Pompom again. That will be amazing. We will do out best to make Pompom stay well and comfortable.
This is day 51 since the start of the treatment.
He is doing as good as he can be.
He sleeps almost all day but that is coming from his age.
Other than occasional gagging and coughing, there is no sign of cancer.
I am very happy that my daughter was able to meet Pompom this holiday.
Tiny and Nano went to the checkup today with Mayumi.
She told me doctor asked Tiny to gain a pound and Nano loose a pound.
Both of them are healthy. I am very happy to hear that too.
This is a day 50 from Pompom's first chemotherapy. It is a milestone.
Pompom sometimes gags/chokes but other wise he is doing well. This gaging is not really related to the lymphoma he is fighting. Small dogs gets their windpipe narrowed as they age. There is no treatment for it except there is a treatment to put mesh in the windpipe but it is not proven 100% safe and effective.
Pompom comes to work with me every day for last 15 years.
We walk together in the morning for 15 years.
It has been 7 weeks since we started chemotherapy on Pompom. Although, he sometimes gags, he is doing a lot better than 7 weeks ago. Yes, he has made it to 2018.
Happy New Year!!!
This is a Year of The Dog ... And we started this year with this dog story.
I hear RING (Motion Sensor Door Bell) rang this morning and I found a tis lovely "Goldendoodle" outside of my house. I went and called "Come Here" ... He came. There was no dog collar so I decided to take him to Seattle Humane near my house.
There were people there and they scan for a microchip and found one. We were able to contact the owner and they came right away. So we were able unite the lost dog with the owner this morning.
This is a great story for a year of the dog, isn't it. He runaway from home last night about 11:00pm due to the fireworks. So he was lost for about 12 hours. For a while, I will have another dog. But this is a better end to the story.
This is a year of dog according to a Chinese 12 Zodiac Signs.
I do not know how long Pompom can be healthy but I am happy to report he is doing well. Thank you for all for your kind words. He is here!
