Update on Osteopathy Therapy for Megat


Dr L treated Megat yesterday. As usual Megat was quiet as Dr L performed acupressure. Megat left kidney was marginally better than 2 weeks ago but still it was encouraging. 

He advised that I give Megat some home-made beef or chicken broth if I have to force- feed him in the mornings instead of the pumpkin-potato-beef mixture of commercial baby food. Less dry food was the recommendation as well as his kidneys need to improve. Dr L felt that a compromised kidney might contribute to his problems in his intestines. 

We are making the beef broth for him today. I was supposed to make a broth out of beef and bones and feed it to him in the morning, with no vegetables. I also found a few cans of no-grain Call Of The Wild, and had sieved that to feed him this morning. He liked it quite a bit as he did not spit it out at me. I had added a little gravy from Whiskers beef and chicken. 

He eats by himself in the evening and he also has about 15 to 20 gm of kibble for a snack. For this I say thanks everyday :)

Later today he is going for ultra sound and of course his vincristine injection. 

Keep the Faith Megat!!

Relapse

Megat had a relapse and his lymphoma is back - his intestines this time. Dr Ly did tell me repeatedly that there is no cure for lymphoma and it might come back so I was in a sense prepared for this. I am not as scared this time round and will do the same as before.

The regimen will now be just the 0.1 of vincristine with the usual protocol of:
The chemo protocol that has helped him through his first bout of lymphoma is below. This is what we will follow this time round. 
Sang hwang suppository 1x a day
2.5 sang hwang extract (1 ml in the morning and 1.5 ml in the evening)
2 ml colloidal silver (1x1 twice a day)
10 drops of milk thistle/silymarin (if liver functions deteriorates)
1.5 ml duphalac for constipation. 
He takes all this in a mixture of strained pumpkin and papaya. 
250 ml Hartmann's Solution daily for SubQ

He would get 8 weeks of vincristine with a 3 - week rest and 1 comprehensive blood test after the 8 weeks.
He is now asleep but he has a slight fever from the vincristine.
