My 11 year old was diagnosed in 2009 with GI Lymphoma (high grade) and was treated with the CHOP Protocol for 5 months. He went into remission for 4 years, and they re-did the CHOP. We got a year of remission this time so they tried Lomustine and Elspar - both did nothing. Now, we're trying the CHOP again. Last Friday he got a shot of Vincristine. He's pretty pukey and not very hungry. I read to try Pepcid so I gave him a 1/4 tablet of Pepcid AC. He also gets 5mg of Prednisone twice a day.
Anyone gone through this with their furbaby? The Oncologist said he still has a few tricks up his sleeve and has not given up hope. It sure is hard to watch my baby lose weight and not have his appetite 100%. I wonder about the Vincristine and maybe that's causing him to lose his appetite? He got the shot on Friday - it is now Monday evening.
Thoughts?
