2 months ago we brought Stella in early (by 1 month) for her 9 month check-up as we thought she had been losing weight. Turned out she was not but the oncologist requested we bring her back in 2 months for a re-check, so here we are; 10 months post-treatments.
Stella's weight remains the same and the oncologist says she looks great - no new lumps, bumps or anything unusual upon physical examination. At home she also remains the same except that she limps a little when she first wakes up - Baby Girl is starting arthritis in the back left leg :(
Throughout this whole process we were told that Stella would have an appointment 12 months post-treatments for a thorough exam and abdominal ultrasound (to be sure no spots were appearing on any of her internal organs) but the oncologist stated that she does not need to see Stella for another 4 to 6 months. So we will enjoy the summer with Stella (& sister Betty) and then schedule her check-up and ultrasound in 5 months (September).
