Megat on Sunday

Yes I think I look very well indeed

Megat is looking well today although he is rather sleepy. Sister S also said that his breath does not smell anymore. His eyes also do not water anymore and he has spurts of energy that he uses to chase Bujang out of his space...but not too close. I think its the supplements but we have to still see his ultra sound and blood tests to tell if its doing its work. I am also glad that this week, he seemed to drink a little more by himself although I do still give him syringed water with his supplements and he is 'going' regularly :) My hope is a small one - that his wbc would be more than 2.5 so he can go on with his chemo treatment next Tuesday. I think next week if he gets his vincristine drug (which is more potent than his endoxan) he would have to be syringed everyday as I notice that he would not drink by himself when he is on the chemo drug.

Today he is exceptionally affectionate and demanded many scritches and caresses from me. I do not know if he is being his usual affectionate self or that he just needs more show of affection. He drank his 25 ml of syringed water as he did not drink the whole morning.

Megat on Wedneday

This is what Megat does all day. He just sits near his Dora cup and then smells it periodically. He has yet to drink from it much today.
Megat on Wednesday evening...

The good thing is Megat looks much better this week after his 2nd chemo than he had done in the 1st week. He is also not as leathrgic as the 1st time. We think its the supplements that he has - the Natural Defense with 16 mushrooms to improve his immune system as well as the ling zhi. He has to take the milk thistle as well. I have started to syringe him with water since last night. As of 9 pm he has been syringed with 50 ml of water - 20 ml in the morning and 30 ml at night. In between, he did drink but only a little. I am syringing him with water as I am afraid his Edoxan would accumulate in his bladder and then he would get blood in his urine. Tonight I had given him some mashed pumpkin instead of papaya. I think he appreciated the change :)

PS: I gave him another 10 ml of water with grandma's help before he went to bed. Grandma said he sighed twice. Poor kitty...

No More please!

Megat giving us the "Please pity me" face. He is getting very good at this :) Here he looks like a little kitten. I took this pic without the flash and so its very dark.

Megat getting very fed up. He has learnt to give us the martyred look and would frequently take to glazing his eyes in boredom when he has to eat his supplemets every night. He would frequently just keep the mixture in his mouth and refuses to swallow it. I would then have to wait until I see his tongue licking his lips. This is a signal that he has swallowed the mixture before I give him another dose. I told grandma and Cousin R that they have to be careful as Megat sometimes would remain quite docile only to give a final hard struggle and then he would be free...and that would be the end of everything.

After his supplements, he would get a good rub down and then he would get his salmon treats. Only then would he relax and sit with me for the rest of the time until bedtime :) He has been very good at taking his supplements for these 2 weeks. I am still giving him the duphalac and papaya as I am not yet sure if he goes regularly. I can't go with him to the boxes as he would just run off as he thinks I am after him for more meds. But he si no more straining anywhere in the house as he did before so I take this to mean the positive. Anyway he is now eating the 16 mushroom supplements plus the lingzhi and the milk thistle. I tried some of it and its not good but it is certainly not bad. The papaya actually sweetens the whole concoction.

He is going for his 3rd consultation with the vet tomorrow and we will see if his wbc is better. Grandma and Cousin R told me that he seems to have put on weight but my brain is yelling "maybe its the lymphoma taking up all that space!" :(
