Tico has been on Chemo in a 10 days on, then 10 days off program for the past 2 1/2 years or so.
Tico enjoying the Sun and patio at the Lone Star Saloon in San Francisco on 17 March 2015.
For the past 5 months his monthly blood test have confirmed that His Bone Marrow needs a break from the Chemo. He was approaching having his blood not be able to clot.
All this occurred at the end of March, so We wait a couple of weeks and go back for another blood test.
In the meantime, Dr. Gordon with Mission Pet Hospital has suggested we start Tico on a Chinese Herb called Yunnan Baiyao to aid in his healing. One of the great things about living in San Francisco was the ability to run and around and actually find this Herb.
It took me 4 stops but I did find this Herb at a Local Noe Valley Chinese Medicine.
In fact, They were only 3 blocks away, Tico and walked over, after I had driven all over San Francisco!

For the moment, We don't know if Tico's Cancer is remission, or will come back in a week or 3 years, or never.
My Thanks again go out to Mission Pet Hospital and Dr. Gordon for all their help with Tico's Illness.
So far, so Good.
Tico has been with us 11 Years.
He's happy, excited about everything like a Puppy.
Chasing Balls, and his Toys, especially the Honey Badger that his Aunt Audrey sent him from Maine.
Tico is a City Dog, right next to our local City Car Share parking space in Noe Valley, 17 March 2015.
How about one more of little Tico as a Puppy back in April of 2004.
