Sydney completed the CHOP chemotherapy protocol and is in remission. Thankfully he only had a few issues (He lost some hair, Had to skip a week for a fever and had an adverse reaction one week and got a rash).
Syd is in remission and not currently being treated for his cancer. Syd goes back to his Dr. once a month so that she can monitor him and make sure that he is still in remission. The average remission for a dog after receiving treatment is 4 months. We are hopeful that Syd will be one of the lucky dogs and have a remission that lasts for years. When Syd is no longer in remission we will have to decide how we want to treat him. We will have the option to do another round of CHOP or peruse a different course of treatment.
I know you are curious, but are just to polite to ask. The whole shebang cost us nearly. six thousand dollars. With the support and help of our family and friends we were able to limp through and only had to put the last few treatments on a credit card.
Would I do it again? In a heart beat. Just look at this face.
I promise I will do a better job keeping you posted on Sydney's progress.
