MY MONTHLY VET VISIT

Hi Pals.

It was the day for my Monthly Check up and Blood Test at the V.E.T's.

I played hard to get when it was time go into my carrier and and hid myself away in my Outdoor Run, but unfortunately Dad came and found my hiding place and bundled me in my carrier with a little help from Mum ! I was very brave on the journey and didn't make any noise.

We saw Lucy the Vet..she's OK (As far as Vet's can be OK that is !) Mum & Dad explained that they had not given me any of my medication last week because I had been off my food a bit and tired a lot of the time & been sick a couple of times earlier in the week, so they decided to stop my Tablets for the week because they suspect the dose I'm having is too much for me. Anyway I have improved during the week, not been sick or anything and my appetite has almost come back to normal now & I'm not so tired.

Lucy weighed me and I had lost some weight, I was 4.6 Kilo a month ago & now I'm 4.2 Kilo. She checked my Lymph Nodes in neck and Legs and they are still down, so that's a good thing, she then had another little surprise for me, said she was going to take my temperature, Ok I thought, where's that thermometer going to go then...Wow I wasn't expecting her to put it up there !..It amused Dad who said I had a  sort of Bemused/Shocked expression on my face !. Anyway after all that my Temperature was Normal so that was Ok.

They took me out the back to take Blood, then soon reunited with Mum & Dad. They got Lucy to give me my Tablets while I was there because I'm still being naughty sometimes about taking them !

Blood Tests will be back in a few days so will let you know the Results.

Got to go now Pals..Bit tired now after my exciting day !

SEE YOU SOON

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 !
