Default Sad News About Forrest Gumpy

Since Cynosports we have suspected that Forrest was coming out of remission. On the plane ride there Sarah noticed that his lymphnodes where up a little on his neck. We decided to wait and see what happened over the weekend. He seemed fine and they seemed to go down a little so we figured it was nothing. Since then they have slowly been going up again. A week ago I took him to the vet we use just for every day things and he also suspected that he was coming out of remission. He was given a shot to see if that would help or not. (not chemo) On Monday morning I was petting him and checking him all over and I noticed that they had gotten bigger again and so had the ones on his chest.

Needless to say Forrest is out of remission again.

We are contacting another vet today to see about other treatment options for Gumpy. Right now he is feeling great and acting normal and the lymphnodes are not huge and you still have to really look for some of them. We are hoping to try Chemotherapy again and possible radiation this time as well.. I am just hoping it works again. At least just one more time. This last time he went the longest without Chemo (3months) than he did since starting last year.

I do have to add.. you would think this would slow him down a little.. NOPE he is still a wild man and I have spent most of today trying to keep him out of trouble. He is now finally in his crate sleeping.. Only after playing in the snow for over an hour

Other than the lymph nodes you would not know there was a thing wrong with him. We are actually heading to a UAD event with him this weekend to let him have his fun.
