OfflineInteresting study. Thanks Jerry for providing this information – that makes sense with the timing. In Oct they told me 3 – 4 treatments and then by Nov they told 5 -6. Tazzie, I agree that we should be made aware of these other possibilities – maybe the stats are different in some of these studies that are being conducted vs. the number of pets who come through this website (maybe there's a higher percentage with mets developing in other locations from pets who are posted on this website?) I don't know but I am sure interested in talking to my oncologist about all of this new information I'm learning. Thanks!
Wow – thanks for posting that, Jerry. It's good information. Our oncologist has been saying to go the full 6 (as long as she tolerates it) all along. She's had one round so far, and her bloodwork came back yesterday and was good. She hasn't had elevated liver enzymes (and we hope that doesn't develop). So far all of her bloodwork ranges are well within normal. And I must say her energy level has been great! I think that has more to do with the amputation than the chemo… but I also take that as a good sign that she is tolerating the chemo well. I found out at the oncologist's that the chemo dose she got was the high range the oncologist had given to our vet, so the oncologist was very pleased she tolerated that well. Hopefully she will continue to tolerate it so she can get the full 6 rounds.

OfflineYou're very welcome! We just received that information too after talking to the good people at the Veterinary Cancer Group in Southern California a few weeks ago. If anyone is on top of this kind of information they are. Stay tuned for our blog series about our visit and our interview with VCG's founder, Dr. Rosenberg.

OfflineThe Vetinary Cancer Group is where I take Mackenzie and they are excellent. I've been very happy with their care and treatment so far. Great to know that they are on top of this information. Also that's great that Holly can tolerate the higher side of the chemo dosage. Mackenzie, who is 80 lbs, is taking a lower dosage because she has a lower tolerance level so it sounds like Holly will get through this with good results. Looking forward to the blog series!
