8/2 Neko PMPS 410 +3 385

Yesterday http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=76200 was first reduction earned day followed by not a bad night (thank you shed!). I am glad Neko chose 49 as a nice low number for me to test!

8/1 Recap:

PMPS 225 +3 199 +6 104

Today we have some bounce action, but doesn't seem too bad so far. Neko is her usual CPC, a yard patrol and a deck patrol, and is now in the solarium taking in the warmth.

Today I went with my friend and her dog to chemo. I'm glad I went. For my friends sake, because the dog seems to be coming out of remission and now it's onto different drugs and we had to have that "what next" conversation as this is the last chance drug. He's still bouncy and seems well but his lymph nodes are somewhat swollen. All paws crossed the new drugs will do wonders. I did sidetrack the conversation a bit with the oncologist and was glad I did for my sake. Amongst her many jobs, she is on the planning committee for what she says is the only other machine in North America that does SRT properly, and that is in New York. Talking to her made me feel really good about taking Neko to CSU. The reason there aren't more machines that can do the SRT is cost. She says that the cost of cement to line the room is alone over $1 million. You need to have a lot of business to justify that expense.

Today is the day to get packing done for the trip. I'd like to get out early tomorrow. We have 3 long driving days ahead, so might not get to post tomorrow morning.

good luck on your trip!!!!!! hope it all goes amazingly well. Nice that Neko didn't bounce all the way to red!

what route are you taking???? straight down I5?

Re: 8/2 Neko AMPS 331 +5 355

@Pip - still to be determined where that bounce is going, but it did give me a chance to not test anymore today! We are stopping the first night in Spokane, then onto Billings, MT. That breaks the trip into thirds. So it's down the I5 for a little bit, then over to the I90. Not looking forward to the border lineup on Friday of a long weekend. We are going to try to hit it early.

Paws crossed for a safe trip and excellent treatment. We'll be thinking of you! Good luck at the border - what a pain.

ETA: Our BOS developed over a period of time and after trying all the other options (skip - not happy with those results; BCS - not happy with that one either; stall - still resort to that one if absolutely necessary). :lol: :lol: Plus the Borg Queen (Marje) urging us to shoot, "resistance is futile". Actually, what really solidified our BOS (so to speak :lol: ) was Zener's better appetite after getting him on zantac, ondansetron and cerenia and having the cyprohexadine as a fallback. We also have honey-laced treats that he loves that almost always brings up his BG.

Hi Wendy - Safe journey to you and Neko! I hope you have a wonderful trip - you are traveling through some very pretty country. I hope too that Neko is a good traveler. Good luck with the border crossing. As you head down I5 wave at the 164th ST SW exit just north of lynnwood I will be sure to wave back.

Very interesting on the SRT machines. I had no idea ont eh costs involved. WOW. :shock:

Re: 8/2 Neko PMPS 410

PMPS 410
Not entirely unexpected. Oh well, once I get the packing done I hope I get a good nights sleep (antijinx). Must keep reminding myself she started out yesterday's green reduction run at 413! Neko is currently helping me pack. I put her nanner in with a pile of her stuff on the counter and she is currently spreading out everything to get at the nanner. Sigh. Clearly popular!

Tomorrow evening Neko will be starting back on canned food, as it's a bit tricky taking raw food across the border. She was on Wellness before FD so shouldn't be a problem going back.

I'd appreciated any spare "calm in car" vines anyone has.

@Liz, thanks for the well wishes. I've shot in the low 100's, and once Neko's tumour is taken care of I may feel more comfortable going lower. The one nice thing about acrocats is no problem with appy!

@Lisa - thanks for stopping in. I've heard all good things about the treatment so looking forward to it.

@Michelle - if you see a blue sedan with a black and white cat at the wheel waving, that is us :lol: I got to see some of the country driving back home from Chicago after 9/11, but we drove day and night so didn't see Idaho at all I gave my petsitter (and friend whose dog has cancer) a nanner yesterday - apparently it is a hit, we have another convert.

((Wendy and Neko))

Have a safe and hopefully mostly enjoyable drive, and of course, the very best of luck at CSU! How exciting! We'll all be rooting for you. Will you be able to post at all while you're away?

As for Calm-In-Car Vines:- Extra-strentgh medidative zen vines are steadily streaming your way!

Have a safe journey Wendy & Neko! Good luck with the treatment!
Neko, be a good boy and stay calm!
