Eric and I have a pretty big decision to make. Do we continue with another type of chemo (Doxorubicin), or do we stop his chemo all together?
The doxorubicin is considerably more expensive than his original treatment, but the chemotherapy has really kept his Myasthenia Gravis at bay, and I'm afraid that if we stop treatment it will come back and our boy won't be able to get around anymore. He has been doing so well lately and it's really hard to imagine him going down hill again. We saw how quickly it can happen and that is pretty terrifying. We really want to make the best decision for Bovver. He has been doing so well with chemo and has had very little side effects. We've spent so much time, money and love that I'm not sure I'm willing to stop fighting just yet. We are obviously just prolonging the inevitable, but when do we call it off? How many trips to the vet are too many for him? How many pills and IV's are too many for him? How much money is too much? I don't have any answers just yet. All I know is that we will get through this together.
