Disappointing news

Burke's cancer is progressing. His left lump node is enlarged to 2.5 cm and now his right lymph node is also enlarged at 1.5 cm.  We discussed converting him to hospice/supportive care versus trying one of the rescue protocols. We decided to try CCNU chemotherapy as this 2nd line protocol is only 1 drug and it does not commonly result in dogs feeling poorly. 

Burke seems happy, he is is no distress and is very affectionate.
