Today was Dozer's first treatment with Neoplasene. We're starting with the injectible and will follow with the oral in 72 hours. The injection was quite painful for him, due to the location. For the first 15 minutes following the injection he was still in a lot of discomfort...I believe it burns. He's still sore but doing okay, eating good. The site of the injection is red and slightly inflammed, which is expected.
So far the only dietary change we've had to make is regarding the chinese herbs. He won't be taking the herbs for now, but will resume them once he's into a routine. When we start the oral Neoplasene in a few day he will follow a very specific diet. For anyone who has researched the oral treatment you know how strict the diet regime is. I will post more once he starts, but for now I'm going to go study all the literature...
Oh, and I must add...He's the best boy ever. He was so good, despite the pain and discomfort.
