Jill's Journey

Jilly had her one month post chemo check-up today.  She is doing so well, better than I could ever have hoped for.  I even love her little face without those whiskers – gives her a little character 😉

We walked into the vet and were met by multitudes of vet techs wanting hugs and comments of “oh jill’s here!”.  It just makes me so happy and proud.  She is such a good little patient.  Her exam included a physical, CBC, Chemistry and Chest X-Ray.  During the physical exam, her vet was poking around underneath her throat and she gave a loud HACK, her vet looked up and saw the panicked look on my face and told me it was totally her doing.  Seriously??? We’re like 5 minutes away from the lung x-ray.  Don’t give me a heart attack.

Physical exam = she looks purrfect!  She’s lost a few ounces, but we just need to keep an eye on her weight.  It’s fluctuated throughout this entire journey, so it’s not too much to worry about.  The CBC and Chemistry will come back tomorrow.  And the chest X-Ray, ALL CLEAR! YIPPY SKIPPY!

So now we will wait for the bloodwork to come in and then discuss the cytoxan dose she will get and what that will entail.  She is now sleeping soundly after being fed a ton of treats tonight and snuggled a LOT.  She deserves to be spoiled afterall.

The prettiest lungs I ever seen (anyone else think it looks like there’s a pig face in her stomach):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like a frog to me: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, we are VERY happy tonight and she should be starting metronomic cytoxan in the next week or so and then have a check up in a month.  But for now, we can sleep soundly……………………….
