4th week: When we got back from that WONDERFUL beach weekend it was business as usual and I went in for my chemotherapy on Tuesday again. This was supposed to be the BIG chemotherapy day because they were going to give me some real potent stuff that was supposed to last two weeks until I'd get my 1/2 body radiation treatment. However my mom had second thoughts as she had been reading about canine bone marrow transplants. She had spoken with the medical director of oncology, Dr. Suter at NSCU. He's the one who does all the bone marrow transplants. She realized that a BMT was my only real hope for a cure. My mom talked with Dr. Lurie after my chemotherapy treatment about a possible change of plans. He told my mom to think on it for a week and then let him know which treatment I wanted for Daisy (apparently you can't do both 1/2 body radiation AND BMT). After chemo I felt fine except for feeling a bit restless during the night.
