    Pearl Update

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I'm sorry to hear that Pearl is not feeling better. When Fiona was in the final stages of cancer we found that chicken livers or gizzards were a particular favorite when cooked in a frying pan with some water and garlic. I also cooked up a pork shoulder in the crock pot with some water then added pasta. Hot dogs were oftenr a popular meal for her and she liked vanilla pudding snack packs.

    Any Other Leukeran Users Out There?

    Fiona had Lymphoma and I chose not to do chemo. Instead she was on Prednesone and Leukeran on alternating days. We had good results in that the combination certainly seemed to slow the progression of the cancer. I had her for five and a half months post diagnosis.

     

    I didn't really see any symptoms that could be attributed to the Leukeran.

    She looked really good when I saw her on Monday. She even surprised her Mom by coming to the front door to meet me.

     

    Then she shocked her Mom by coming out to the back yard down her ramp. She is full of spunk so I'm sure she will continue to do well.

     

     

    And for any of the naysayers out there that think I done wrong by doing this to a 12 yr old.....how old did she look to you?

     

     

    She doesn't look much older than my Fiona did at 9 yrs.

    Am I Fighting A Losing Battle?

    When Fiona was failing from the cancer I wondered if I would know when it was time. I had never lost a dog before and I was concerned that I would let her go on too long.

     

    We let her eat whatever she wanted; some days it was hot dogs and vanilla pudding. That was OK. She lost weight and started spending most evenings on her bed out on the deck.

    She wasn't in pain and seemed happy, if tired.

     

    The last day I just knew it was time to let her go. I can't explain it except that I had a sinking feeling in my stomach that I had not felt during the previous 5 months we fought the cancer.
