Hi Jerry-

I just sent you an email on this. My baby is going through the same thing right now and I am torn on the chemo. She had her first dose and is on the predisone daily. Did you notice any side effects from the chemo? I hope your baby is doing well. Please update me and give me any advice you can give.

Thank you!
Christine

Tonight we even went for a short walk and her tail wagged the whole time. I want to thank everyone again on this forum for all your advice. How is everyone else's babies doing? I hope they are responding well to their treatment.

Btw, I forget to mention that with chemo, Eli didn't suffer the side effects of vomitting or diarrhea (which some dogs do experience and you should let the vet know) and they will try another agent.

I apologize for not seeing this thread sooner. In answer to your question, Gidget is still alive and is now in remission. She is off all meds and doing great. Here is the link to the site with information and a support group that will provide you some hope.

A photo of Gidget and an update on her condition is on the Yorkie Angel Patrol site under Faces of GME/NME.
