LiveStrong Roscoe!

I got some good news about Roscoe this morning!

Roscoe and I went to the vet last night for another round of tests to see how his blood count is responding to the chemotherapy drug. This morning the vet called me with the test results and Roscoe's red blood cell count is down to 53%!
This is great news, considering that less than 1 month ago it was at 87% and Roscoe's health was in serious danger. Also, the drug does not appear to be negatively impacting his white blood cells or platelets, which means that at this time the dosage seems to be working. We will continue to see the vet weekly, until he feels confident that Roscoe's bone marrow is responding well to this treatment plan and it is suitable for the long term.

Here's hoping for more good test results in the weeks to come for Roscoe!
