We did it

WE DID IT!!!! We managed to get Soter all the medication he needs! The manager of one of the pharmacies here sent out an emergency email to all the stores in the chain across the country and the response was amazing. There are a bunch of stores with left over medication from patients that have finished the de-coppering treatment and either switched to a different medicine or are now controlling the disease by reducing copper intake.

We managed to get a total of 450 pills which works out to 225 days! We only needed 120 days but this way we have a cushion. I hadn’t let myself think beyond the biopsy date but this way if his copper levels aren’t back to normal we can still continue with the de-coppering treatment and even if his copper levels are back to normal we can switch to maintenance therapy and stay on the same medication hopefully until the manufacture starts up production again. And the pills have an expiry date of June 2017 so there’s no worry there!

I feel like I can breath again and this whole experience, while absolutely terrifying has restored my faith in humanity. I still can’t get over the amount of help and support from people out there. I had honesty expected to be dismissed because Soter is a dog but people, even total strangers fought for him and went above and beyond for our boy. I’m amazed and grateful beyond belief!

Thank you again to everyone who helped with ideas, suggestions, cross posts, good thoughts and prayers! DT is the best :thanx:
