Good News For Nacho

Nacho had his first check up ultrasound to see the progress after his first round of the CHOP chemotherapy protocol. It was a rough morning for him since he had to fast, but we were thrilled to learn that the ultrasound revealed that Nacho's stomach and lining appeared almost normal! We knew that he had improvement in the fact that he wasn't vomiting anymore, but we had no idea that the masses would shrink that much in the first round of chemo.

We are so grateful that he has responded so well to his chemo protocol. After the ultrasound and some bloodwork which showed his white cells were at a good level as well, Nacho received another dose of Vincristine to start off the second round of the CHOP treatment. He was sent home with some bags of IV fluid just in case. I really hope I don't need to use them, although our family vet was very helpful in showing us how to administer the fluids if we need to.

 Here's to another round with remission on the horizon!
