another vet visit

abby went back to the vet today for another round of chemo, however she did not actually get it because her white blood cell count was too low to sustain another treatment. low white cell count is an effect of the chemo and makes her vulnerable to infection. but the really good news is that the chemo seems to be working. her tumors are noticeably smaller. plus her lymph nodes are no longer swollen and her liver and spleen seem a more normal size. she'll go back to the vet - probably on wednesday - for the next round, giving her body a little more time to recover from the last dose, but still keep fighting the good fight. but over all, she seems to be doing very well. she's spunky and happy and the tail is still wagging!
