Also, I forgot to add that Fuji had her first follow-up appointment from her second round of chemo. The vet believes the second mass has been shrunk! Besides a sneeze or two, probably inherited from her baby brother, she is in excellent condition. We will do blood work later this week and

Same here, Effie began with Elspar and then Cytoxan pill.  On that Friday morning she had labored breathing and whistling with the chest mass pressing inside her, had chemo ... by Monday she was playing again and breathing fine.  I can understand why you would not choose chemo since he was
