Milo’s had a fantastic long remission – it’s been almost nine months since his last chemo. Long enough that we started hoping for a miracle, and that he might not relapse again. But… the good folk at North Downs Specialist Referrals (NDSR) were right to be concerned about his last scan, and get him back […]

Milo was back at North Downs Specialist Referrals today for his second scan since finishing his third (modified) ‘CHOP’ chemotherapy protocol. Amazingly he’s still looking clear, which means this is now the longest period of remission since he started treatment :) Our fingers will be crossed for the next scan in a couple of months […]

Milo cancer diary part 19 – Four
Milo is four today, another milestone worth celebrating :) Last week he had a scan, which followed 8 weeks after the end of his third (modified) CHOP protocol. The scan was clear, so we’ll be back to NDSR at the start of July. It’s all a very similar situation to a year ago. Insurance ManyPets […]

Today brought another trip to North Downs Specialist Referrals (NDSR) for Epirubicin chemotherapy that comes at the end of this cycle of the CEOP protocol. One more cycle to go for this protocol. No scan this time, that will wait for our next visit in (hopefully) eight weeks time. If things are looking OK then, […]

Yesterday Milo was back at North Downs Specialist Referrals (NDSR) for a scan and the Epirubicin chemotherapy that comes at the end of this cycle of the CEOP protocol. The scan was very encouraging, showing that his lymph nodes were back to their usual size, so once again the oncologist thinks he’s in remission. His […]

Two more months have rolled by since the last scan and Milo has enjoyed a nice summer of long walks and no vet visits (apart from his routine vaccinations). Sadly the most recent scan picked up some inflammation of the lymph nodes, which suggests that the cancer is back. But once again we’ve caught it […]

It’s now been two months since Milo finished his second CHOP protocol, so he was back to the vets for another surveillance scan. It looked good, perhaps even a smidge better than the scan on the day of his last chemo :) A couple of milestones worth mentioning: Meanwhile we’re now up to date with […]

Today is Milo’s third birthday, which seems like a milestone worth celebrating :) It’s also two months since the last update, and he had the last dose of Doxorubicin to complete the second CHOP chemotherapy protocol on Tuesday. His weight has been stable, the cystitis subsided, no further complications, and no problems with neutrophils. So… […]

Today’s dose of doxorubicin marks the end of the third round of Milo’s second CHOP protocol. Each time I take him to the vets they ask how he’s doing, and I always answer “he’s doing really well”, because if he wasn’t there for chemo he’d seem like a fit and healthy young dog. When he […]

Today marks the anniversary of Milo’s first visit to the specialist oncologist at NDSR. I don’t think I expected to still have him with us a year ago, so it’s great that he’s here and generally enjoying life. Since the last update: But, it’s not all been plain sailing. Milo seems to have been a […]
