So Sorry to hear about Bam Bam, the pain and the shock is unreal,Why and how becomes unbearable! you feel you have to do the best but sometimes the best is just making your time together the best! and most comfortable for Bam Bam, the stress of having to be put to sleep to scan thier little bodys to see if the chemo is working, the blood tests, the pressure of having to leave them at the clinic for most of the day, (the chemo doesnt take long its the full tests they do on the blood, they check everything thats what takes the longest!) thankfully his chemo sessions were only every 4 weeks. My Billy only managed to have 2 sessions before he died and did i do the right thing by the Chemo? i dont know as it only bought us 8 wks longer, poss not! but he was his usual little self, he always weed in the middle of the reception area as to show me up 'pay back time' ha and it didnt put him of his food, just gave him the runs a little! and he was insured thank god as the total bill was over £2000 pounds, its so expensive, licence to print money! you need to have a long chat with your vet to get his honest option, i dont know about this type of cancer my billy had bladder cancer, we could only try and delay the tumors! Having 2 more years would be wonderful! but is he being realistic?

Please what ever you decide friends on this site will support and help you in finding alternative choices! as lots of people do not go down the chemo route.

My prayers are with you.
