I am so sorry!! What kind of chemo...like IV or pills?

My Wylie has Atypical Cushing's Disease

- and right now we are trying to balance his system. The drug I have to use now is a chemo drug called Lysodren - I started giving it 2x week, but saw no change in symptoms...now we're up to 3x week for 3 weeks and I'll watch for changes. So far, he is doing GREAT on this drug in terms of side effects. He will have to be on it for life (if this is the pill that works, that is).

But, this mode of giving "chemo" may be totally different from what you're talking about (if you're talking IV). So, if you feel like sharing more - feel free. I'm here for you.
