Day 106

Mar

1

I took Pompom to a park ... he barely made a round. He had hard time breathing. He is now resting comfortably in my office. I will keep my eyes on him. Tiny seems to be working about Pompom.

Because Pompom had very bad night, I took a day off today. I hope Pompom wil have better night tonight.

Pompom had one of the roughest night last night. He is sleeping quietly this morning. I am taking a day off from the work today and staying with Pompom.

I am so sad that he is winning the battle against Lymphoma ... but his wind pipe is narrowing .... That is coming from the age and type of his genetic. No medication has worked. I will stay with him.

Pompom is relaxed around Tiny

Feb

27

I gave Pompom cough medication this morning. He was coughing bad with this medication, his cough has stooped. When Pompom was getting better, he cuddled next Tiny and shared the same bed.

Tiny used to be bigger than Pompom. Tiny lost almost 5 Lbs while Pompom gained 2 Lbs. Pompom looks so much bigger. But they are really happy to be together.

Day 103

Feb

26

I get worried when his tail is down.

Pompom is continues to have weeping (hissing sound) cough. I think there is some heat around his neck. We have started to put ice pillow under his chin. I hope this is a temporary thing. We are keeping close eye on him.

Pompom got his grooming (i did it) today. This will cool him down, hopefully it can reduce his coughing.

Day 101

Feb

24

Pompom's weezing cough continues when he stand up. I hope he is not in pain. Because of his chemo, he lost a lot of energy and appetite. I am also suffering from a cold. I hope we both will recover soon.

Cooling Down

Feb

23

Pompom is trying to cool down at cooling mat. He did this when he started his chemo 100 days ago. The lymph nodes became very hot and started to shrink. I am going the new chemo is doing the same to his lungs or wind pipes.

He is a fighter. And I am watching very closely. I will not make him suffer unless he is getting better.

Pompom's Update | After the Treatment

Feb

23

Pompom calms down when Tiny is near by.

Pompom was doing better when we were doing weekly chemotherapy. Although, his lymph nodes are normal, we suspect the cancer may have spread to his lungs or breathing pipes. We can do the testing to make sure but the fact he was doing better with weekly chemo tells us we have not gotten rod of the cancer.

So, we started on the chemo that tends to stay longer on his lungs instead if targeting his lymph nodes. We are also starting the test medication to open up his wind pipes. We are getting back to weekly treatment.

We made to 100 days ... our next target is 150 day. It feels like Pompom started his fight with cancer again.

Today marked the 100th day since Pompom started his chemotheraphy. He is having problem breathing so we are at the vet this morning. I hope we can treat his cough and breathing problem. We do not want to make him suffer.
