Kallie's Amazing Life

It's been three months since Kallie was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and she's doing great.  However, as of last Saturday we've had to abandon the 25 week treatment regimen for a new protocol since Kallie keeps going into and out of remission every few weeks or so.  The new protocol is called MOPP and is also known as the "rescue treatment" since it is used to treat relapsed or resistant forms of lymphoma.  Doesn't sound good, does it?  The good thing is that you'd never know that Kallie has cancer and she's being treated by one of the nation's leading veterinary cancer experts, seriously.
