After long and thoughtful consideration about our next steps in treating Sasha’s caner, Carlos and I decided to proceed with Chemo. Thursday, March 29, was our consult with Dr. Waddle, and turned out to be Sasha’s first Chemo treatment.

Even tough Sasha looked good in Pink, the bandages had to come off. On March 21st, seven days after the surgery, Dr. N. removed Sasha’s bandages and checked the incision; it looked great. He and the rest of the staff said Dr. Clary, the surgeon, did a great job and they all seemed really surprised […]
