When we brought Pan home, he was the most chipper we have seen him in over a week. He dug at the door until we let him out of the bedroom, he trotted around without falling or resting, he even tunneled under the armchair cover, which involved actually climbing up the armchair. He looked brighter, and was clearly happy to be home. If he's feeling this much better without drugs yet, then I hope drugs will help even more. Although having seen his ultrasounds--well, anyway. He looks good, and he's not on death's doorstep at this moment.

Which makes me second-guess myself a bit about the chemo. I also talked to a woman whose ferret went through this new chemo regimen that doens't require i.v. delivery, and her ferret had a complete remission and a year later is still fine. On the other hand, her ferret had only peripheral lymphoma (i.e., only the lymph nodes in the extremities were affected, no torso lymph nodes and no organs), which made him an excellent candidate for chemo. She said he didn't have nausea or other side effects, but I'm a bit skeptical about how one would really know if a ferret has a headache or not.

Pan just trotted through the room as I am writing this, without too much sliding. Sigh.
