Another early morning ride to Fort Collins for our appointment at CSU.<\/p>\n
Once again we are greeted in the waiting room by a handful of dogs and their owners.\u00a0 The atmosphere seems less scary this time as we take a seat and wait our turn.\u00a0 A nice gentleman engages me in conservation and shares his story of his dog’s cancer.\u00a0 He explains that he is here for a second round of chemotherapy and that so far, everything has been good.\u00a0 Reassuring words that bring some comfort to my nervousness.\u00a0 We only exchange a few words before they come to get Cain for another x-ray to determine if his lungs are cleared and we too can begin chemotherapy.<\/p>\n
I strike up a new conversation with a woman and her dog Buddy.\u00a0 They have traveled from Carbondale to seek advice for a new cancer that he has.\u00a0 He is a sweet dog that enjoys the banana flavored biscuit I retrieve from my purse.\u00a0 I wish them good luck as they are called away.<\/p>\n
I find that people come from all over for the country for the exceptional care, incredible doctors and specialized treatment provided by Colorado State and I never doubt Cain is in the very best hands.<\/p>\n
Moments later, Dr. Biller, my favorite, brings Cain back to me and informs me that there is still some pneumonia present, however it has cleared enough to start treatment.\u00a0 I have decided on the metronomic therapy as it is less invasive to his system and is in pill form so I can administer myself.\u00a0 We’re given 3 different bottles of medicine and will begin treatment tomorrow.\u00a0 Hugs to Dr. Biller and we make the trip home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
