She has had a sore back right leg, but it has been determined that it was just twisted or sprained. It gave us a bit of a scare, but all is well. Athena will be having x-rays soon to determine if she is still cancer free. Assuming that she is, we will then determine her continuing treatment. We have the option of 2 more rounds on Carboplatin, which she tolerated without any side effects for the first 4 rounds, or we can go with the daily low dose chemo and a "cancer" diet. She is an amazing spirit and continues to play, eat, love and make us laugh. She is a joy in our lives and we cherish every day with her. We continue to be confident that the choice to use the clinical trial with CSU was a good one and will give her a longer better life. Just wanted to update you on Athena.
