I just got off the phone with Beau's oncologist. She is ecstatic about his response to the chemo--well, not the bladder irritation part, but I'll get to that--and said that his lymphoma is, "in complete remission already". This is outstanding news. He'll still press on with the remainder of the 19 week program, but the fact that he responded so quickly to the chemo is an excellent sign.

Now, his bladder is highly irritated from the evil cytoxan. But there's no bladder infection, which is good. We're working to reduce the symptoms of that and holding patiently for the irritation to pass, which should take a few days.

So naturally, we're all ecstatic about Beau's reaction. It'll make his 8th birthday celebration this Thursday a special one indeed. (Yes, he'll get his birthday ritual cupcake to devour sans snood, as normal.)

Enough for now. I'm off to go pick him up from the vet...

Cheers,

Ken
