Kim, I'm sorry I have no advice or words of wisdom to offer, but I
was interested in your post because we are going through the same
thing, but our Vet (also not a specialist) is suggesting a different
tack. She thinks the Cytoxan, not the Vinchristin, is causing low
WBC and is saying we should try Doxo next. But from what I've read,
Cytoxan and Luekeran are in the same "class" or cancer drugs while
Doxo does something else. This is really confusing to me. If you
do start the Luek, I hope you will post and let us know how Jen does
with it. Good luck! Melody
