Re: Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Thank you, Proofpawsitive and lovemydogs7, for the well wishes. Pez had his first chemo last night. I will see how he does. We have to have a compounding pharmacy make up his dose of prioxicam, but that should be ready to pick-up tonight. He is on the same chemo therapy plan as Dylan. I am very hopeful.

I completely forgot about the anti-vomiting and anti-diaherria medicine. The doctor stated he should not have any of that. If he does, I will get some over the counter meds.

I thought of the idea of taking photos, but have not so far. That is a great idea to watch the progress. I will start tonight. I want to keep an eye on it anyway to make sure this care is working.

Luckily, Pez's nose is not really malformed at this point. His right side of his nose is enlarged due to what appears to be soft tissue swelling. I can see the tumor at the inside side of his right nostril. It does appear to be slightly larger than when first diagnosed 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is sensitive in that area and protective when other dogs come to close.

I will continue to update you all. This forum has been great for me, both in allowing me a place to get information and the support to others. Thanks again for the well wishes.

Krissy
