Dave is still doing well. The past two weeks, we noticed a pattern of his eye doing well until Saturday, when it gets cloudy again. He got his last dose of cytoxan on Saturday, this week and last, but that shouldn't really relate to his glaucoma. We're hoping to actually speak with the opthamologist this week, so we can get a better idea of what we can expect with his eye. And, honestly, what we should expect as far as cost. We've already spent half of what they estimated the entire treatment to cost, in just three weeks!! The chemo is (dare I say it) affordable - last week it was less than a hundred dollars! That little bottle of drops was more than the chemo!!! So we will be talking about a payment plan with the vets this week.
One of the criteria of the trial was that we couldn't do a payment plan for the costs. That was fine, but the extra opthamology costs have added up quickly. We're hoping they'll work with us on those costs. The expense is the one of the first things that we're asked about. Not directly, but in a "wow, that must be expensive" kind of way. The chemo itself is not as bad as we thought it would be. Dave is definitely worth it.
