QUICK UPDATE..BLOOD TEST RESULTS

Hi Pals.

Just a quick update..

My Blood Tests came back Today showing my White Blood count was a little lower than before but still within the Normal Range, which is good but they will keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't go too much lower. Lucy the Vet spoke to the Oncologist Vet at Vale who decided I should carry on with my medication as it is for another Month (which I'm still being a bit naughty about & not taking all the time !...which is driving Mum & Dad crazy trying to find new ways and things to hide them in !)...Still got a bit of a Snuffly nose but the Bisolvon (Bromhexine Hydrochloride Powder is helping...Have got to go back for Check up & another Blood Test on the 26th April.

That's all for now...See you soon Pals !

Lots of Luv

HELLO EVERYONE !

Hi Pals.

Went to the V.E.T's this morning for my check up and Blood Test..saw Lucy the Vet..All went OK, I have been given some powder stuff to put in my food because I've had a Snuffly nose for the last week or so, the powder is supposed to help clear my nose. Lucy is going to speak to Vale Referral Vets about my Medication because when I have taken my Chlormabucil  tablet my Sniffy nose seems worse so wondering if the dose needs altering but will find out when my blood tests come back and they speak with the oncologist Vet.
I have been a bit naughty last week by not taking my tablets, keep spotting them in my treats however hard Mum & Dad try to hide them especially the Chlormabucil which are difficult to hide without tainting the treat and I taste it & spit it out ! Mum & Dad have to be very careful handling them because they can be quite toxic to anyone without Cancer !..Anyway I have taken them over the weekend so that's Ok.
Will Update with the Results in a few days when the tests come back. 

Must apologise...I was supposed to be posting a light hearted picture story the other week entitled ''Watering Cans..Sinks & Puddles''...(I wonder what that's going to be about ?)...MOL !,unfortunately Dad has been a little slow on the uptake sorting out the Pictures we are going to use, blaming me for being too photogenic, says he has over 30,000 photos on this computer alone and 90% of them are of me and my Sister he also has 2 other computers and an external Hard drive with loads more on ! (not that he's obsessed with us)...anyway will put pressure on him to get it finished soon.

Have a lovely Day my Friends.

UPDATE ON BLOOD TEST

Hi Pals

Just a quick Update on my Blood test Results took a bit longer than expected because Sara the Oncologist at the Special Vets was away last week. Its good news my White Blood Count is still OK so I just have to carry on taking my usual dose of Medication and the good news is I don't have to go back to the Vets for another check and Blood Test until the end of March unless I have any Problems.
See you soon Pals !

Lots of Luv

Ps..Will Post some lighthearted stuff next week..fed up with all this serious stuff...so keep your eye out for that...MOL !

ANOTHER VISIT TO THE VET FOR A CHECK UP

Hi Pals.

Have been to the Vets this morning for a check up to see how I'm doing. Lucy my usual Vet had been called away so we saw Ruth who was very nice and gentle, she checked me all over weighed me and I have put on a bit of weight I'm now 4.75 Kg she was very pleased that she could not feel any lumps in my neck or legs and said if she had not known I had Lymphoma she would not have been able to tell there was anything wrong with me, so that's good news. Had to have a Blood Test while I was there the results should be back Thursday so they will know how my White Blood count is doing and whether I need any change in my Medication.

Mum & Dad were very impressed how brave I was Today and when I got home didn't hide away like I usually do, Dad took me out on a long Patrol which was brilliant and had lots of Treats when we got in !

Will Update when the Blood Tests come back.

Enjoy your Day Pals....I'm off for a little Nap now its been a busy day !

RESULTS ARE BACK FROM THE VETS

Hi Pals.
Lucy the Vet called Today with the results of my Blood Tests and they are all Ok, the white blood cell count is still fine at the moment so after consulting with the Oncologist Vet at Vale Referrals I will continue taking the same dose of Tablets for the next two weeks then I have to go back and have my Blood tested again and see if my Medications need to be altered.
So that's good news, everything is stable at the moment & the Meds don't seem to give me any side effects and I feel fine in myself so with a little luck it will stay that way !
Got to go now Pals lots of important ''Cat Things'' to do....MOL !
Have a lovely day friends and thanks for your continued good wishes and support.

THE DAY OF MY VET VISIT

Hi Pals...

Its Friday so....its Vet visit time ! I was very good today and went into my carrier quite easily...still very frightened & nervous but I didn't call out on the journey in the car Mum & Dad were very proud of me for being such a brave boy.

We arrived at the Vets and didn't have to wait long to see Hannah the Vet she was quite nice, she took me out the back so they could take some blood & feel how my lymph nodes were doing...was a bit frightened because my Mum & Dad weren't there with me but about fifteen minutes later I was reunited with them !

Well its Positive News !...my Lymph Nodes on my neck, legs and shoulders have gone down considerably in the first week of taking the Tablets the Vet is very Happy the way the treatment is working and is very encouraged by the results. We have to wait for the blood tests to come back next week to make sure my white blood cell count is Ok and if they need to make any adjustments to my medication. 
Anyway got to go now Pals....Dads taking me out on Patrol...Exciting ! 
Thank you so much for your good wishes, Prayers and positive thoughts & messages over the last few weeks its so good having Pals like you !

OZZIE UPDATE By Ozzie

Hello Pals.
I'm back....As you know Dad took over for me for the last week or so and considering his age ! (Whoops..he's giving me that Ozzie your not be getting any treats today my Lad look !) he did a great job (He's not that old really !)  but now its time for me to take the reigns again and tell it in my own words after all, it is my Blog....MOL !
Well as you know, its not been a good start to my year. I was going around minding my own business, feeling fit & well next thing I'm being bundled into my carrier and off to the Vets ! Anyway you know the rest of the story.
This week I have started taking a high dose of medication......For the first seven days I have to take 2 Prednisolone (Steroid) Tablets every day then this will be reduced to 1 tablet every other day. I also have to take 1 Chlormabucil Tablet (Click Here for Info on Chlormabucil) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday's ( Mum & Dad have to wear gloves when they handle these !) all these are hidden in my Treats (they think I don't know...MOL !) Hopefully this will stop this nasty Cancer thing getting any worse and reverse some of it.
Got to go back to my own Vets on Friday morning so they can do a blood test and see if the medication is working Ok or if it needs any adjustments so...Paws crossed there will be some improvement...I do hope so.

These Natures Menu Treats are where they hide my Tablets !

Mum or Dad make a small slit & pop the Tablet in then squeeze together and as if by Magic they have disappeared !

Got to go now Pals, will update you on things later in the week and thanks again for being so supportive at this difficult time.
