One more round down.......

Jack continues to do great! He had another round of chemo, this time CCNU (Lomustine ) which is an oral chemo. He also had another Melanoma vaccine shot. His white blood cell count was low, though that's expected. Not so low as to cause a lot of worry though. With this chemo drug there is more of a chance of it affecting his Liver so he takes Denamarin 30 minutes before his breakfast. They also want to avoid an infection (of his own bacteria) so he started an antibiotic today to keep an infection from forming. He continues to eat well and looks great. No diarrhea or vomiting. He looks a little tired today but is still willing to play, just not as long! He goes back in on Thursday for another CBC. Will update more then.
