Jill's Journey

Hopping her way towards a (hopefully) cancer free life three legs at a time

An early ampuversary celebration

Filed under: Uncategorized — rica55 at 3:10 pm on Friday, October 3, 2014

Hi all!

Jill’s 22 month ampuversary is not for another 9 days, but this morning she had her biannual check up at the oncologist for chest x-rays and blood work.

Wonderful news – still cancer free!!!!!!!  Her x-ray was clear and bloodwork looked normal.  Her white blood cell count is low, but not dangerously, and we’ve come to learn that her WBC’s are always low.  The oncologist thinks it will always be that way from long term effects from the chemo.

Her oncologist is really happy with the way she looks (well mostly…I’ll get to that in a second) and we can now switch to just going in for her scans to once a year instead of twice!!  Yay Jilly.  I honestly dont know how or why I got so lucky that my little one is beating this, but the gratitude I feel for that sometimes overtakes me.

So the only slight problem…….shes getting fatter by the month!  She is up about half a pound since April.  Her weight would be ok if she were a four legged kitty, but on three legs, I definitely need to start watching this.  She definitely doesn’t over eat…….but Mommy might be overdoing it on the treats :/

So now we prepare for the big 2 year ampuversary!  Here are some pics and videos for your viewing pleasure 🙂

Such sweet kitty hugs. Congrats on 22 months! Have you looked at feeding in treat balls? No bowls, just food dispensing balls so that Jill has to hunt to eat.

Oh swweeeeeeet! Jilly you are so strong and courageous and you DID IT! Not only did you pack on the pounds (oh boy I remember how worried everyone was when you were LOSING weight), but you are healthy and active and a regular kitty once again. Well, let me take that back, you are anything but regular, you are a ROCK STAR!

Congratulations to you both. xoxo
