LEROY IS SO EXCITED TO LET YโALL KNOW THERE WAS ZERO CANCER FOUND IN HIS FINAL HISTOPATHOLOGY TEST POST AMP!! As of now, we officially have ZERO detectable cancer cells! BYE CANCER! What a thanksgiving blessing (sorry I was a little late to announce it)!
We are one month and 3 days post amp, and you would never know it with this dog! I keep waiting for bad news, but Leroy keeps proving me wrong! Every time there is an obstacle in his path, he beats it! Iโm so proud of this big fighter!
The metronomic chemo is going great and we will continue to take it orally every other day, indefinitely. No side effects so far! He takes a diuretic on the days he takes the metro as well as a NSAID twice a day. We are a week in on the metro and will have his white blood cell level checked next week to make sure all is well ๐๐ค
We are so thankful for the Tripawds community this holiday season! I would be so lost without all of yโall and reading everyoneโs blogs and forums. For this, I am forever grateful and I hope Leroyโs journey can help someone in any way possible. This has been such a rollercoaster ride and Iโm honestly not sure if Leroy would be here without this community. We also blessed to have found Tripawds and for his amazing A&M team, his Dallas vet who has been with us every step of the way, our family, friends and neighbors, and everyone who has been rooting for our goofy, crazy, amazing and inspirational LEROY!! ๐
Leroy had a great Thanksgiving and wants to show off his new turkey bod for yโall! Thank you Leroy for letting me dress you up and helping me laugh my way through this! You are way tougher than I am! Also, thanks to his Dad who dreaded these photos and thought dressing up as a chef was too creepy!! Also, thank you Tripawds for Leroyโs new tripawds bandana!! He wore it with upmost pride all week long and will continue to do so! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

I think you need to get this apron from the Tripawds shop: http://www.cafepress.com/tripawds.434403247 It will go with your theme!
When my pug girls were young they used to wrestle each other and gnaw on each other’s back legs, I called it ‘having a drumstick’.
Fast forward to the first Christmas after Maggie lost her ‘drumstick’ to mast cell cancer, back then I used to do pug girls Christmas cards. Anyway- in that year’s card I have the girls sleeping in their beds and Mag dreaming of a….drumstick!
I’m so glad to hear that none of those nasty cancer cells are showing up for LeRoy!

Bhahahahaha! OMD Leroy your paw has such a great sense of humor! Hahahaha!
This is the best news EVER my dear handsome doggie. We are thrilled for your pack and you can bet that your journey will absolutely go on to help others, especially our Bulldog friends whose vets often say that this breed can not make a good Tripawd. You prove ’em wrong buddy, rock on!
Love you Leroy. Don’t be a stranger!
