Charley had chemo #4 on 1/29/14 which was Lomustine, an oral chemo pill also known as CCNU. Charley is now 2/3 of the way through chemo! Dr. Buss, his oncologist, said and I quote, “Charley looks great!”. Boy did that make my day! Charley had his bloodwork and a liver profile done on 2/5/14 and everything looks good. His next chemo #5 is Doxorubicin which is scheduled for 2/19/14. Charley’s 1st Doxorubicin chemo hit him a bit hard, but he sailed through his 2nd without any issues so we are hoping that #3 goes smoothly as well!
Last Sunday was Superbowl Sunday and my birthday, so Charley and I were sporting our Peyton Manning jerseys and cheering on the Broncos together. Even though I was bummed about the Broncos, I couldn’t complain too much. I had the best birthday ever with Charley by my side! He is doing great with only 2 chemos to go and he is absolutely the BEST birthday present ever!!! I would have never thought when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma that he would be celebrating with me on my special day almost 40 months later!
Shhh…don’t tell Charley that he’s wearing a girls XL!
Charley looks like a linebacker in this one!
We traded jerseys, so here’s Charley and his mommy!
…and another of Charley and me!
….and another!
I love this one!
Thank you for all of your prayers, positive thoughts, hugs, and kisses. It is greatly appreciated and we can’t thank you enough for all of your support!
♥ Hugs from me and chocolate Labby kisses from Charley! xoxo ♥

So happy to hear that Charley is still doing so well with the chemo-not that there was any doubt! Boz and I have the exact same jerseys, though he does not appreciate it when I dress him in clothes.
Yay Charley. Way to go. Love the jerseys you two are sporting. You just are such an inspiration Charley. Keep kicking butt buddy.
Hugs

Hippy Hoppy Birthday to you Ellen! And Charley, I can’t think of a better present than to spend it with your Momma and knock out another round of chemo, what a gift of a lifetime!
You ARE the winner of the Superbowl of Doggie Livin’ Charley, the Hall of Fame Superstar!
P.S. That second photo of you is just darlin, you look like such a ladies man there 😉
