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.

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.

I am retiring my Mac Mini soon.

Actually, I am not retiring it. I am decommissioning the system and refurbishing it with two brand new SSD drives. I am switching my daily computer to the new MacBook Pro for now.

Compared to the latest Mac Mini ... it has 2.8Ghz dual core Intel i5 processors. My 6 year old Mac Mini has 2.3Ghz qual core i7 processor. It should be faster than the current system. The only problem was the hard disk speed. With two new SSDs I purchased for $230, it will be as fast as any Mac Mini out there.

I will let you know when I complete the transition.

Pompom's Update | After the Treatment

thread
Pompom calms down when Tin... 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.
