Yes - the agent in Harvey's case was cyclophosphamide - early type of chemo, but it seemed to work very effectively for our old boy who was a much loved and cherished part of the family. The newer agents are indeed much more costly
. My OH is a Haematologist and uses chemo in his daily work, so he and the vet had long discussions about the protocol for Harvey and all the technical stuff about the staging and typing of the Lymphoma, all of which was/is way over my head
- I was simply the crazy woman who used to chop the pills in half with a pill cutter (whilst carefully clad in rubber gloves), tuck the medication inside a lump of cheese and feed it to our very special 'patient'
(see avatar for picture of 'himself')
