Michelle, which oncologist are you dealing with over at Redbank? Hope it's not the one I'm using as he has been very patient with me.

Thanks, Hideyo. Yes, if anyone has any acemannan-- can I please buy some from you?? If we use it, I don't think we can wait until February. I kind of doubt Lucy will last that long without something to turn her around. her gums are mostly gray, with only a few pink spots, so it is hard to tell. Those spots are still somewhat pink, but it could be from inflamed gums, as those spots are right over the canines. Her paw pads are still pink, though not as pink as usual. No less pink than yesterday, though. But the vet said you can't always tell from gums and paw pads. i asked the oncologist if they checked her reticulite count to see if she is regenerative or not, and he said that they did not and there was no point until they know if she has cancer, because if she does have lymphoma the anemia should respond to chemo (but he does not think it's cancer, so why not check it so we know more if it is not???). He is getting annoyed at this point by my phone calls and questions and acts very curt on the phone. He is not a vet who is impressed by a client having knowledge, he is a vet who is annoyed by it. My local vet is more willing to work with me, but at this point wants to defer to the specialists because he feels they know more than he does....<<
