However, his platelet count had decreased, which could be caused by the chemotherapy or it could be that the lymphoma is in his bone marrow. Because of the low platelet count the vet said that the drug Doxorubicin would not be given until next week. Instead they gave him Elspar - asparaginase subcutaneously.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this chemo is going to keep him feeling comfortable for awhile.
I know that this is not about me, but about this sweet boy... However I have to admit that I am struggling with my emotions today and just want Buster's time to be happy.... |
This is for sure about you too! Both you and Buster together are going through this! I struggled with my emotions each and every day Zoey and I went through this!
You will make Busters time happy. Why? Because you love him. In your own quiet way you will see and find some answers to make his time here special on earth. Why? Because that is who you are.
I would like for you to remember dogs joys are so very simple. A special pet, a lap they didn't get to lay on before, a freedom off lead. More time with there Mom's. A lick of yogurt, or ice cream. Massge, Tellingtons Touch, you have it with-in you to make this time special.
Your Buster only wants you! To be there for him. And that you are already doing!
I ache for your heartache, and for Busters fight. It is your fight too. God Bless you for doing all you can for him!
