    Nikki starts chemo tomorrow.

    We had her consult today. He was pretty reserved about her chances in part because her liver levels were so high when she was treated for pancreatitis. He did blood work though and it was perfect. Like you would have thought the machine was broken. So she starts palladia for neuroendocrine carcinoma tomorrow. They are pills three times a week. There's a possibility of GI problems as a side effect which is of concern but we're in touch with her holistic vet so hopefully she can keep that under control.

    Wish us luck. This is a nasty cancer. If it's in an organ and we missed it, we could be in trouble.

    She's tolerating it well 24 hours later. No side effects.
