I am so sorry to have read your story about Sandy's experience under Regrets about Chemotherapy.  I am so sorry to hear that Sandy's white blood cell count plummeted.  I am praying for the two of you as Sandy is in the ISU.

Rosemary and Sandy, I feel very much for you. Please, do not be too hard on yourself.  So far you've done your best for your girl and that shows how much you love her.  I know how chemo is stressful and scary.  I'll pray for your vet to find the right antibiotic/drug who will fight Sandy's infection.  Hang in there.  Please keep us updated.

Rosemary,

I'm so sorry to hear about Sandy's bad experience with her chemo… How is she doing today? Any better? You are both in my thoughts and prayers…
