I have been very slack in updating - but spending the last almost 4 months since Jack finished his Chemo really enjoying every moment of our time together. Jack remains in remission and will have his next check up in around 4 weeks, with his Oncologist. He has put on a lot of weight, and at one stage, I thought I would have to put him on a diet! HAPPY DAYS!!!
Jack's coat has grown back and when I look at the photo from when he finished treatment he looks like a different dog - his coat has grown back darker and one of my neighbours described his coat as "lustrous"!! I will take some new photos of him this weekend and post.
Since Jack finished Chemo, he has been on Mushroom Extract, and I have kept his diet as it was during his treatment - i.e. I cook for him. BUT he has been able to have bones again, which makes him very very happy.
He had a holiday recently with me, and it was great to see him running along the beach and behaving like a dog with the 2 labradors who came along.
His weight is back to where it was before diagnosis (maybe a bit more!) and he is a very happy and content little Schnauzer.

Thanks Laura - fingers crossed for you!!! I am sorry for slow response - this is my first go at blogging so not very good! I feel very lucky that Jack has been so well - we will fight this horrible disease!
