Moses was treated with Adriamycin and Cisplatin for his first three chemos
for bone cancer and Adriamycin and Carboplatin for his fourth.
Stat blood work and urinalysis were done before each chemo treatment.
Fourth urine test revealed lower specific gravity that they like to see
which is why carboplatin was used as it is friendlier, so to speak, to the
kidneys, even though the "system" is extensively "flushed" when the
Cisplatin is used.
Moses was only "off his feed" after the second chemo and only for one day
when he did not want to eat, was depressed, and just wanted to rest.
