Damn Belinda, my head is spinning! No, she's not an oncologist, she's

Nina,
That information is not accurate, this is not what I've heard from

Elspar is used in several treatment protocols, it is also used as a

Elspar as one of the chemo drugs. Please read this page carefully,
there are several protocols here that include Elspar used by many
oncologists that people in the feline lymphoma group use. This whole

continued use.
