Honey’s third chemo treatment was another Vincristine IV — and she took it like a champ. Because she fared so well on her first dose with little side effects, this round was increase in dosage.

Her bloodwork was great and the tumors are shrinking. Everyone is so pleased with her progress! Here’s a copy of her discharge papers if you’re interested: Honey Discharge 3

So far, she’s been a bit more lethargic than she has been with any other dose, but she’s still in great spirits and as sweet as can be.

She especially enjoys her new toy, a tug-of-war toy that has a few squeakers hidden inside. As she has quite a … strong … jaw, she’s never been allowed most toys with squeakers, but this one has lasted all of a week! It’s a serious accomplishment.

She’s also a big fan of a quilt her grandma made for her, dubbed the “cancer blanket.”

Above all, she loves her time out in the sunshine (another huge blessing here in the Pacific Northwest!).
