Treatment and the nausea bug

After Gaby's first Doxorubicin treatment she did great! She was more easily fatigued around day 3-5 after treatment but seemed to get back to playing with "moo" - her favorite toy.

Her white blood cell count came back this week and good news, it was back to normal. Dr. B said Gaby was an angel and laid on the rubber mat to get her meds. Then she took in a staff meeting where Dr. B's daughter brushed and petted her.

Everything was great up for her next Visticrine treatment yesterday and Gaby seemed fine. Today, she was kissed goodbye for the day and fed. When I got home, I noticed that Gaby would not eat. I looked outside for signs of vomiting and found it right away. Dr. B prescribed nausea meds and GI protectant (the same as she was given described a few posts back) and that did the trick in 3 hours. Gaby is doing well tonight and ate a plain meal of boiled chicken and white rice. She ate all of that and wanted more.
