Well Jack had his first treatment today. We ended up going with chemotherapy (Carboplatin) and the melanoma vaccine. So far so good, but I know it could take a few days for any side effects to occur. Although a little tired (doesn't going to the doctor always do that to you!), he is willing to play and is eating and drinking. The doctors say that generally dogs handle chemo very well. He did great with his surgeries so I'm hoping this will be the same!! I'm giving him fresh minced ginger with food just in case he has any nausea. Even though it is New Years Eve, we will all be getting to bed at our normal time...sleep is important for all of us! We have an appointment with a Holistic Vet next week. We are looking at all our options to fight this disease!
PS...special thanks to Grandma and Aunite Sue....you have been so wonderful to Jack and us. We couldn't do this without your support!
