I'm sorry about the mass, but glad you are seeing someone who will treat it. The COP protocol is an old protocol, I think. I think many oncologists use the Wisconsin protocol now. I don't know what Oncovin is. The Wisconsin protocol starts with Elspar, I believe. I highly recommend you join the feline lymphoma group as well, which I think is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) . I learned a tremendous amount about lymphoma and its treatments from them when my Simon had it. Michelle In a message dated 11/25/2006 1:00:31 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Dr. Ward did an ultra sound immediately, saw a big mass near the heart. This is what was done today: Echo: Mediastinal Mass FNA: lymphoblasts Cx: Mediastinal lymphoma Tx: Oncovin o.05 mg IV Depo Mectol (?) 1 cmg Cytoxan 25 mg PO She gave that today and we go back next Friday. She says it is very treatable and I should see a different cat in 48 hrs. She said she likes to start with low doses so cat doesn't get so sick she won't eat again, we will up it as needed. She did ECHO and an x-ray, I was in room and saw the mass on the ECHO and then she showed me the x-ray too...we can use it to compare ... She also gave me an article she wrote : MEDVET, Columbus, Ohio Onocology and Hematology Proceedings of the 20thWaltham/OSU Symposium She prefers the COP Protocol. I will keep you posted about Ms. Asia's progress. Dianne and Asia
