CHEMO NUMBER TWO..... 

Rocky’s lab results were on target. “Normal” is a good word when you have cancer. So far, so good. We took Mandy today because we didn’t want to keep her in the cage all day. I did double duty by running to the Van every couple of hours to walk her and make sure she had water and a “goodie” ……..then I left her in the Van and went back to sit with Rocky.

I wanted to make sure I got to hear what Dr. Susie had to say. She is such a good doctor……knowledgeable without being condescending and informative without being boring. We feel we are on solid ground with things so far.

I drove out to the office of Dr. Wiehe to order the Integral Medication for Rocky but he was in Illinois conferring with a group who want to use his books. I will hook up with him soon. He is really a front runner because he’s been there and experience is worth a thousand words. We will also buy a juicer which will step up the absorption of fruits and veggies since chemo destroys a lot of that ability and undermines the natural immune system.

He is in good spirits, Mandy did exceedingly well…..she went from bedtime to 7:15 a.m. this morning without soiling the paper in her cage so she got an “atta girl” for that which doesn’t do near as much for her as a piece of cheese or hot dog…..but she gets that too.

We are all tired and ready to crash on the couch and stare at TV while we rewind. Hope your day has been eventful in a good way and we’ll be back here tomorrow.

Until then,
