Neurologist

The past few days have been really good for the most part, that is until Sumis started having seizure activity yesterday. Her spirits have been high; she has been inhaling food (though without much weight gain). She has even been hunting Fanny again. But yesterday, she started frothing at the mouth, twitching, and staring at me like I was a giant purple monster. She has had two of these events so far. We talked to the oncologist who thinks that Sumis most likely has lymphoma in her brain now as well. To be sure, however, we are on our way to the neurologist today for an MRI. Because animals won't just sit still for imaging, MRIs require general anesthesia. I am hoping this anesthesia goes better than the endoscopy. I think it will as the actual procedure is less invasive. While we could treat without knowing for sure that it was lymphoma, if it is something else that is really bad, we will have to reconsider our treatment plan. If it is lymphoma, our oncologist will design a chemo protocol comprised of drugs that will cross the blood-brain barrier. Later tonight, Sumis will see Dr. P for a Qi Gong treatment to help calm the liver wind that in TCM is the cause of the seizure activity.
