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 […]

A few milestones have ticked by since the last update: It’s now over a year since Milo first got ill We’ve made it through the first round of his second chemo CHOP protocol The scan on the day that should have marked the end of that first round showed ‘a resolution of the intestinal mass […]

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 […]

Milo cancer diary part 9 – scans
It’s been a couple of months since Milo finished chemo, and he’s now had two surveillance scans. The August one could easily be described as ‘not great, not terrible’. An area that was still of concern from the previous scan had improved, but there were some new signs of wall thickening. Nothing that would be […]

It’s been a while since the last entry here, because not much has been happening, which is mostly a good thing. Ileal wall changes Milo was back at the specialists NDSR at the start of June for the Doxorubicin that marked the end of his third cycle of the CHOP protocol for chemotherapy. He also […]

TL;DR A £7000 policy isn’t enough to cover a single chemo protocol for lymphoma, especially given the likely costs that will have stacked up before getting to a diagnosis. My insurer, ManyPets, have been prompt in paying smaller claims, but much slower on the bigger ones. But there’s been no quibbling or hassle, and I’ve […]

It’s Milo’s 2nd birthday today, which is a landmark I feared he’d not reach four months ago. Since his last setback things have been ticking along very much to plan: His white cell count and neutrophils were fine for the next dose of Vincristine. We delayed a couple of days for his next visit to […]

This wasn’t as much of an unwelcome surprise as the last time. We knew that the Cyclophosphamide hit him hard last time around, and despite a reduced dose, and some weight gain, it seems to have had a similar impact this time. A low white cell count (and low neutrophils) meant it wasn’t safe to […]

Milo was supposed to have his third dose of chemo today, an injection of Vincristine, but that didn’t happen, as his white cell count was too low. It was a bit low when he went for his Cyclophosphamide tablets last week, but the specialist gave the green light to proceed. This time around it was […]

January 2023
Pupdate I shied away from mentioning that Milo was ill last month. I guess I was hoping that he’d bounce back soon, and I didn’t want to worry anybody. But January brought terrible news, as it seems he has lymphoma. He’s started chemotherapy, and I hope I get to mention what he’s been up to […]
