Shake the Disease

Jake is featured as one of the rotating biographies on the home page of the CSU Animal Cancer Center website. Keep refreshing the home page and you’ll eventually see one of two images of him. Or you can go directly to his bio if you click here. Thanks for Dr. Hardy and Bob P. for putting this together.


Jake’s chemo pills arrived by UPS today. This is the third dose of Lomustine (CCNU). One 40mg capsule and two 10mg capsules. He never has any obvious side effects so I don’t mind giving it to him. We’ll do a blood test in one week to see what’s going on inside.

In The Clear

Time for another round of chemo. Jake saw Dr. Hedlin at Aspenwood Animal Hospital on Monday for preliminary bloodwork. The results were great, including the ALT count. His oncologist at the CSU Animal Cancer Center, Dr. Lana, OK’d the next dose of Lomustine (CCNU). The pharmacy at CSU called right away. We’ll look for the UPS man this week.
