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 […]

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’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 […]

A few milestones have ticked by since the last update: That’s all good news. Though it comes against a background of some blood tests showing low neutrophil counts, which have led to delays in administering chemo, and more vet visits. Insurance ManyPets seem to have slipped back into taking months to process claims. The first […]

Milo’s scan at the end of last week showed some areas of concern, so it was back to the vets for a biopsy, which confirmed the reoccurrence of Mott cells. The lymphoma is sadly back, and so we’ve restarted chemotherapy with CHOP protocol again. We’d maybe got to a point where we were holding out […]

After 6 months of chemo Milo has hit a major milestone – the end of his CHOP protocol. His most recent scan showed some improvement, and the specialist recommended ending his chemotherapy for now and moving to monthly scans to monitor the situation. The general idea is that the chemotherapy drugs will be more likely […]
