5th November

Today, Yogi will not eat, he has not eaten since Saturday morning and today is Monday. His glands are huge and up all over his body and he has been coughing throughout the night. Yet he looks quite bright. He STILL wants to go for a walk - albeit short. I am really praying that John will start his chemo today. His wound looks good, no leaking and he seems less sore.
At the vets John examines him. Confirms that his glands are bigger and that yes, he needs to start chemo today. Once again, worry over leaving him, worry over giving him chemo. And worry over everything else that is unknown. He will need to stay in for the next few hours to make sure that there is no reaction to the drugs he is given.
Another long wait to go through.....
6 hours later and he is back. Looking VERY bright and VERY hungry:o) (steroids have that effect) It is SO fantastic to see him tucking into his food. He even ate his vegetables :o). He looked happy and enthusiastic and even managed to bark at the fireworks. So relieved and so happy:o)))
