Well, further to my last post I have remained determined and have eaten when I have been presented food, I have stolen food when I was not supposed to, and I have scrounged from the Meowmie's everytime they have had a meal. My energy levels are still quite low but I am a brighter cat than I was on Thursday/Friday last week. Despite eating I showed no inclination to make room for any new food....if you get my drift...so Meowmie gave me The Most Beautiful Siamese Cat In the World last night and I expelled about 4 inches of poop! (It was in 3 bits, not one big sausage!!! Too.Much.Info..sorry)
So, I went to the Vet Place this morning for a check-up and to see if I was OK to continue the chemo...they weighed me and I was 70gms heavier than I was on Friday, which isn't a lot, but it is a move in the right direction. Meghan Vet took blood samples and my white blood cell count which had measured 2 last Monday, has risen to 6.4, and some other stuff in my blood which they measured was good too; and I was brighter in myself too - which meant my chemo could recommence! Meghan Vet also said that I STILL had a fair bit of poo in me - even after last night! She gave Meowmie the necessary equipment to administer You Know What at home.
So, no time like the present - especially with cancer - we restarted chemo today. I was supposed to have a double dose of chemo today, Vincristine and Cyclophosphamide combined, but Meghan Vet had some trouble getting the catheter in to my vein and she was unsure that it entered the vein 100% cleanly...which is MUST do, it is VITAL that the Vincristine drug does not come into contact with skin, tissue, muscle etc, it can cause terrible damage! So to be on the safe side Meghan Vet only gave my Cyclophosphamide today, I will go back for the Vincristine on Friday if I am feeling OK.
This is me today, just after I got home from my chemo...see how Castle misses me, he kisses me everytime I have been away! Or maybe he could smell the tuna that I had just scoffed down as soon as I got home!
Thank you for your continued purrs and encouragement to eat...I am doing my best, listening to your advice and I am still fighting! :)
PS- I owe Yao-Lin and Tamra Maew a meme, I will try and do these tomorrow!

Oh Stormie you wonderful girl eating all that food!!! You MUST keep up with your appetite! I am so heartened to read about all of your delicacies, and a little jealous too to be honest. I agree, you are doing your human a favour by stealing her food, especially if she wants to lose a few pounds! xxx
Storm, you are doing so great! I am very proud of you . . . what a fighter you are!
I saw that your mommy is running a race for you - that's wonderful! Uncle Sean's race went very well. I couldn't go, which made me a little mad, but he came back and told me about it later.
I'm still purring like mad for you! GO STORM! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU FOR EATING!!! We hope you eat and eat and eat! We will keep purraying and you keep eating! We are glad that Castle gives you kisses when you come back from the v-e-t.

Storm I am so glad that you are doing as well as you are! We will keep purring for you and sending our good thoughts!
Stormie, you really are the Furry Fighter! I think you are the bravest girl I know. It must feel good to get all those bad poops out of you so you can make room for more yummy foods.
