Well, Billi has had her first lot of chemotherapy and it went well - except that she threw up in the car on the 1.5 hour drive home (not the whole time though!). If you knew Billi, you would know that she would be very embarrassed by this - but hopefully she will forget before it's time for the next treatment. She's scheduled for five treatments, 10 days apart.
Her owner's treatment is going to be a bit more intensive than this. The tests have been completed and treatments discussed - and she'll be fronting up for radiotherapy every day for 6 weeks. Hopefully this will shrink her 5 cm tumour. At this stage they're not talking surgery - and the tests revealed no other growths. Phew. Thank goodness (and her partner) that she had it checked out when she did.
I can't imagine what it has been like for she and her partner coming to terms with this - especially in the days when they were waiting for the tests to be done, and then for the results of those tests to be discussed. I guess it all could have been easier if they had already finished the house they're planning to move in to at the end of this month. All of this could seem like too big an incentive to get it done - especially waiting for the prognosis which (from the first doctor's appointment) had seemed like it would be much worse.
