terrible day yesterday....we learned that in addition to her lymphoma, gracie has another mast cell cancer tumor as well. we are pretty lost right now...looking into treatment options....I'm not sure where we go next. our poor sweet little girl certainly doesn't deserve any of this
what the fuck...
i am now at a loss for words...

tomorrow is not going to be a great day for our little girl...she will be getting an ultrasound and x-rays to see if the mast cell cancer has spread....she will also get chemo if her white cell count is high enough (it wasn't on tuesday). I hate that we have to subject her to another long day at the vet....they give her lots of love and let her lay on a mat and not in a cage, but still...
I need you guys to pray the mast cell hasn't spread. if that is the case, they can hopefully remove the tumor with good margins and that will be the end of that....the tumor is in a pretty accessible spot. if the cancer HAS spread.....I don't even want to think about it. keep us in your thoughts....we are certainly due for some good news.
you may think Gracie is miserable right now....she's not at all. we went to the park as usual this morning and she still gets pretty fired up to see her friends; both dog and human . I won't be able to go to the vet tomorrow because I have my own CT scan to check for reoccurrence of my own cancer :fp:

Our Dotsun Snoopy is injured in someway I believe it's his back or hind legs. He's lying in bed here with me with a heating pad and appears not to be able to get comfortable. I'm taking him to the vet in the morning I pray he's not seriously hurt. We shall see.

oh no!
been gone for quite some time, terrible to read this! my dear igby has cancer, but amazingly, thankfully, highly treatable with chemo meds. he's been doing quite well. mr. dream just brought him to the doggie oncologist tonight in fact.
in happier doggie news, not so "new" anymore, but after our loss of our dear chloe, we got an adorable brindle french bulldog baby, zack! love him to death! so yes, he's already a year old. soooo much news to share, both good and bad - isn't that life - but just popped on to wave hello, send some kisses and yes, i succumbed, easily, and bought 2 no code collars. i think they look awesome and my boys will rock em with pride.
XO
i will post pics of zack, the new collars, etc - just don't have anything on photobucket presently. i'm an instagram junkie as of late, haven't used photobucket in ages, no idea if one can link instagram? haha.
I missed this!
Welcome Zack! yes please post pics!
I remember Igby ... very sorry to hear of the cancer, damn cancer :evil: but good to hear
he is taking treatment well and his loving parents are there by his side.
Hope you are happy and well d2d and can come back and spend more time.
You are missed.
the ultrasound shows normal liver, spleen, lungs and whatever else they look at. in other words, it looks like the mast cell cancer has not spread from the tumor. so, the good news means gracie gets a surgery :roll:
her white count was also up enough for today's chemo. we go pick her up in an hour or so....she is going to be pissed....all this poking and prodding and no food since last night....and since she had a mild sedative, she may not keep dinner down. we will have to dote on her.
after the surgery, she'll have a shaved shoulder, a shaved tummy (from today's ultrasound) and four partially shaved legs (chemo IVs).....but she'll still be beautiful to us!

Rob, you are the best owner!! Gracie is all the more beautiful for her
"War wounds" she is a great dog, the deserves humans like you all!!
I wish all dogs had people like you all in their lives!!
Hoo-ray. And she'll still be beautiful to all of us, too.
Does Gracie eat a normal diet? Does she have special treats she likes?
she eats a limited ingredient, no grain, salmon and sweet potato....not for cancer but because something in the more ingredients type food was making her s**t explosively
she not too finicky about treats....she gets milk bone trail mix and those Nutro berry/banana/apple treats. she expects one every single time we either enter or leave the house....also after pottying....I accuse her of "working the system" nearly every day

Wait, I've posted this before - Gracie and I have the same birthday? That makes her even more awesome. (Although I sort of wish I was turning 5 today. Instead of 39. Again.)
Happy B'day Gracie! Hope you get lots and lots of good stuff.

Happy Birthday Gracie!!!
that pic might encompass the reasons i love dogs...has cancer, undergoing poisonous chemo yet get me outside with some snow and i'm a happy dog
wish i could find that much happiness in the little things
Wait, I've posted this before - Gracie and I have the same birthday? That makes her even more awesome. (Although I sort of wish I was turning 5 today. Instead of 39. Again.)
Happy B'day Gracie! Hope you get lots and lots of good stuff.
happy birthday!!
