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.  [Image Can Not Be Found]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.

Oh, your poor baby.  I'm so sorry.  I wish you didn't have to come to our community under such bad circumstances.  We are here and hopefully we can help in some small way. 

My heart goes out to you.

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...

Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
