oh Michelle I'm so sorry, but only you know what is best for her

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #434 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:21:11 AM »

Bad news

She has lost more weight and my vet can feel the lumps again....

I'm not putting her through more chemo, i cant do it to her, it makes her so ill...so now i've just gotta let my baby die

My vet thinks it will only be a couple of months, a few at best

Cant believe this is happening, she isn't even 6yrs old....and what is Rocky gonna do ? He suckles on her at night....oh God this is so crap.

I am glad the chemo has worked, and I hope that she has gained some weight and can cope with chemo every 3 weeks.

What i think i will do is see if she copes with 3 weekly chemo......but vet is hopefully that she might

That would be brilliant if she only had to have chemo every three weeks....sending healing vibes to Issey and yourself!

Janeyk · « **Reply #424 on:** June 13, 2009, 07:16:53 AM »

Glad to hear that Issey is back to her old self and I'll keep everything crossed for her whatever you decide

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #423 on:** June 12, 2009, 22:21:04 PM »

No she hasnt put any weight on

but she hasnt lost anymore either.
She is alot more like her old self again but this is because she has had no treatment for 2wks.

The lymth nodes in her leg and neck have gone down which shows that chemo was working but we just dont know how long they will stay like that without the chemo.

I am taking her back next thursday to be weighed and if she hasnt lost any weight and is well in herself then my vet wants to go ahead with IV chemo that day...and then every 3wks (rather than every week) with preds (steroids) every other day

What i think i will do is see if she copes with 3 weekly chemo......but vet is hopefully that she might

pappilon · « **Reply #422 on:** June 11, 2009, 22:45:11 PM »

Michelle, how did the vet visit go for Issey? Has she put any weight on since her last visit?

Bazsmum · « **Reply #421 on:** June 11, 2009, 04:33:58 AM »

Im glad she is eating again, it must be so confusing when she acts so normal!

Positive vibes for Issey at the vets!

pappilon · « **Reply #420 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:59:21 AM »

Its great that Issey is eating again, i do hope the vet can help you with your decision.

Sending good vibes for Issey and

for you.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #419 on:** June 11, 2009, 00:53:13 AM »

What hard decisions to make.............do both give their reasons and id so which sounds most sensible when considering Isseys quality of life?

I send best wishes to Issey

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #418 on:** June 10, 2009, 19:18:14 PM »

Good news

Janeyk · « **Reply #417 on:** June 10, 2009, 18:22:33 PM »

Glad to hear she seems alot better. It must be really hard trying to decide what to do for the best when you get conflicting advice. What does your vet think? maybe he/she has experience of both treatments and can help you decide, poor you

hope tomorrows visit goes ok.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #416 on:** June 10, 2009, 14:51:45 PM »

Awww thanks for asking

She is alot better in herself and has started to eat again (she is having no treatment at all)

Going to the vets tomorrow for a weigh in ...

Then got to decide what to do,
1 oncologist wants to just give her steroids one a day everyother day and only start chemo again if any lumps come up
but the other oncologist wants her to have IV every 3wks aswell as the steroids

I really dont know what to do ?

Janeyk · « **Reply #415 on:** June 09, 2009, 23:13:57 PM »

How is Issey doing Michelle

clarenmax · « **Reply #414 on:** June 05, 2009, 11:42:47 AM »

Fingers crossed its the treatment making her poorly, sending tons of positive vibes that the lymphoma has reduced

Hoping for the very best for Issey

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #412 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:06:53 AM »

Fingers crossed it is just the treatment and that the lymphoma has reduced.

for Issey

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #407 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:19:35 AM »

Just got back from the vets...

He was surprised to see how much more weight she has lost!
She is very weak and not eating....she couldnt jump from the table to the side which was a gap of a few inches

We are stopping treatment !

If she hasnt improved in a few days then she will have a scan to see if its actually the Lymphoma that has spread and is making her ill rather than the treatment

Hopefully she will start to feel better without all the chemo going into her body, please keep your fingers crossed, send prayers and vibes, anything just make her get better.......

because if its the Lymphoma then i cant let her suffer like this

I'm sorry she's not eating and feeling yukky. I hope that it goes better for her and you very soon

I do hope she start feeling better now. I dont know much about IV chemo, Boy never had IV they put him on tablets from the start but i was told its for rest of his life .
Did your vet say why she has lost so much weight? I was told with steroid they start puting on weight , well thats what happened to Boy the first few months when he was on 1 tab twice a day and then they cut the dose.
Sending lots of good vibes for Issey.

She is losing weight because she isnt eating

even with being on the steroid tablets, so that goes to show how shitty nshe must be feeling.
I am waiting for my vet to find out if we can cut the dose

Bazsmum · « **Reply #399 on:** May 30, 2009, 09:30:50 AM »

This is good news Michelle, for her to be getting on with the treatment there must be something positive happening!

What a clever, brave girl is Issey!

Fingers crossed the new plan of action works.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #396 on:** May 28, 2009, 23:38:20 PM »

Plan of action -

She now has IV chemo every 3wks with a Chemo tablet 3 days after each time......this could go on forever (cant see that)
My vet is going to speak to the oncologist about cutting down the steroid tablets as he feels the high dose is what is making her ill.

~She has lost a whole KG in weight too (thank goodness she had some to spare)

She wasnt as upset today after her treatment......
