Quick Treatment Update
It's been about a month and a half now since we started the new treatment and I thought I'd give a quick update. Basically, there isn't much to report. We haven't noticed any marked improvements or drastic declines. The doctor says that it may take up to three months before we see any signs that the treatment is working. Isabella has some good days and some bad days. Physically, she has grown a bit weaker. We are hoping that this is due more to inactivity rather than tumor growth, so we are trying to perform exercises and stretches throughout the day. We're also hoping that the winter is behind us and to get outside for more fresh air.
