Yes mostly, thank you.  That does lead to one other question, though.  If
Lupron is controlling the symptoms, are those only the external symptoms
(such as fur loss and swollen vulva), or is it also controlling other
symptoms that may be happening internally (excluding the possibility of
slowing the tumor's growth)?
