hi.. Bennie really hasn't gotten lesions... There have just been a few odd bumps, but they never opened......His Mira Vista came back .43, which is negative. However, He had a bone swelling ( a rib. it was big and paintful) and that was biopsied for osteosarcoma, we thought it was, and that came back as Blasto.....from the U of Minnestoa lab. lots of Blasto in MN......He was lethargic and had lost 8 lbs.. and was very depressed......That rib, though was our clue, no coughing. no skin.. not an eye problem that we know of......

And five weeks on treatment and he is much better.

Gosh it's hard to believe we're in week five isn't it?!

It is simply amazing...... yesterday, after finishing the last Christmas commission, I was oooo so tired. like little Jakie. Ty-0hed.... It has been quite a month...

By the way - to Wilson3....I'm glad to hear that the blasto will absorb into the body.  My fear has been that I 've continued to hear that the blasto will 'eat' it's way out through the lesion.....which made me think that if it's not eating out, maybe it's eating into the bone??  So I'm glad to hear that sometimes the body and the anti-fungals will just kill it off without if having to 'go' anywhere.
