I feel sure she got it from my garden since I dont spray for anything. I use only Holistic chemicals in my yard and home. We have never had fleas or ticks. I know my babies loved stomping thru my garden and eating tomatoes. I am more shocked that my others have no symptoms except XUXA has had 2 loose stools with blood but not much and nothing compared to Lola. I will give her a week then she will be tested. The treatment is very expensive. 20 mil just cost me $80 bucks but we will be getting refils at CVS for $60. She will be on Sporanox1.1 mil every day for 6 months. We will have to check her liver funtions in 7 days and then once a month. I also need to have her off the Predisone by this friday. It will make her worse. I feel very strong and will do everything in my power to keep this girl alive and well. Dr Cole diagnosed her on Friday after he saw that her Lymphs and Colon where swollen. The results from his Cytology came back this morning around 8AM and they called me right away. I have already given her a dose of this med. Please keep us in your prayer. |
Lissette,
At long last, she's finally been diagnosed. Follow their advice....they are the Specialists.
At least the treatment is there for her.
