I wanted to wait until today to update on Mills.
Yesterday he went to the vet for his monthly bone strengthening infusion. This is to make his bone healthier/stronger where they did the stereotactic radiation back in February. He will continue these monthly infusions forever.
Yesterday was also his first visit without having to do chemo. He had done that every 3 weeks since February (6 times).
And we also had x rays done again yesterday and they were clear. This was huge news. The lungs look clear and the bone looks good. Evidently bone cancer in dogs spreads to the lungs quickly so that's why they check those throughout treatment. These x rays looked good in May and also now. We will continue to do these every 3 months.
So all in all, very good news on the puppy. He continues to be wild and happy which is all we want. He almost pulled the technician down who brought him to us yesterday...he definitely has plenty of energy. The kids got to meet his oncologist and they thanked her for making Mills feel better! Onward and upward. Still monthly check ins but we will take it. Thank y'all for caring about our pup!
What a trooper!!
