As of today, I am no longer a cancer patient! My chemotherapy medication, Vinblastin, has been on backorder, so Dr. Ross contacted an oncologist and found out that two more doses wouldn't affect my prognosis either way and that I have a great chance of never developing metastatic cancer. I will probably get skin tumors again, but if we have them surgically removed, I should be fine. And he checked a thing on my paw and said it was fine to just keep an eye on it for now.
So... I'm done with that stage of my life. Now I can wean off the Prednisolone and eventually wean off the Prozac and just enjoy being the best darn pink pibble my family has ever seen. And I can go to see Dr. Ross and everyone at the office just because I'm a good dog, not because I'm getting chemo. Mama might have cried happy tears a little when she paid off the bill this afternoon.
