Levi and Spencer seem so much alike! Spencer also just doesn't seem sick at all. So far we have done one carboplatin treatment and he is due for another one tomorrow. These are only every 3 weeks and he doesn't seem to have any side effects from them. So I am inclined to continue them for now. But, I'm going to talk to his oncologist tomorrow. I'm ind of torn on it. These treatments are almost $400 each and who knows if they are even doing anything to slow the cancer. If they are, then they are worth every penny; but if they aren't... that is a lot of money to spend to just make me feel like I'm doing something - KWIM? If Spencer were having side effects from the carboplatin I think I would definitely drop it. Ugh. decisions.
Jac and Angel Spencer. Spencer was 5.25 years old. He fought a grade 3 fibrosarcoma, started on his shoulder. Left front leg amputated in August 2011. 15 weeks of chemo finished 12/22/11 (mytox and adria). Lung mets found on x-rays 12/28/11. Started carboplatin 1/6/12. Went to Heaven on 2/27/12. I miss him like crazy every day. See his blog here: http://spencer.tripawds.com/
