It’s been two years since my treatment
started and I feel really good. Dr. Fineman says I’m still in remission and I can stop the chemotherapy altogether. To be
honest, I won’t miss the treatments, but I will miss seeing everyone at the VMC in Atascadero every month, and the people
at Pacific Vet in Santa Cruz, too. I sure like all those people. One of them calls me the “miracle dog.” But I think they’re
the reason I’m still alive.
I heard that some other dogs with cancer haven’t been so lucky with chemotherapy. We
found out that most don’t survive as long as two years after diagnosis. I’m glad I didn’t know that before we started.
Dr. Klintworth and Dr. Fineman said the lymphoma usually comes back after a while, so we should be ready for that.
But to tell you the truth, I’m not going to worry about it. I’m just glad I had a chance to be with everyone in my family
for the last two years. That’s the best part.
