Feline Multiple Myeloma

My 15 year old cat was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last Sept.  We are currently treating him with prednisone and the chemo drug Luekeran 2mg every other day. His globulin levels had been at nearly 11 before treatment and once treatment was started he dropped nearly 2 points (grams) within two weeks then consistently a half point (gram) every two weeks for almost 4 months. This week though we had an increase in globulins, he was at 6.5 one month ago and has gone back up to 7.5. His attitude is good but his appetite has become picky and he has lost weight over the last few weeks. He has been sniffling for a few months as well though not showing signs of congestion or infection.  If anyone has any experience with this type of cancer in cats, treatments etc that would be so helpful. There is very little out there about feline multiple myeloma and what little there is suggests that it isnt a battle you can win. We were so encouraged by his response to the chemo drug but now we are very worried again about the outcome.

I have heard many stories about pets beating cancer with apricot seeds.

I haven't heard that before but I am pretty new to the supplement thing. Someone has suggested CAS Options which has several types of mushroom and other things to help the immune system so I got some of that. I think that sometimes the best you can do is to try to strengthen the body so it can deal with the negatives associated with both the cancer and the chemo treatments. I'm also trying L-lysine again for an immunity boost because he has been sniffling for a few months probably from a viral thing was dormant until his body was challenged by his situation.
