queenwinniesmom Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm so sorry that it seems to be a tumor. But it's good news that his lungs are clear. You are proceeding in the way you should be. Sadly, there are so many of us who have shared this experience. But that does mean that there is a lot of knowledge and support. Polli is 3 months ahead of you, Ranger is only 1 month. I hope you can gain hope from their stories, and the stories of other dogs who have fought the monster. I do keep bringing my Winnie up---and probably sound like a broken record. But if my angel Queen can give another person hope during this difficult time, it's worth it. We had Winnie for 3 1/2 years after her amputation (right hind leg)! Right after she was diagnosed, I was so devastated that I actually wrote a "eulogy" poem, thinking that I would be losing her at any time. But I've learned a lot since then, and Winnie had different ideas. She was not ready to leave us, and certainly not ready to lose any battles with the monster. When we lost her in Oct. 2007, it was due to kidney failure. Now I have to say this also---cancer is a crapshoot. Every dog, every owner, every experience with the disease, is different. But we have to do what we can, because we love them. Whatever you know in your heart is best for Butch is what you should do, no matter if it is not what someone else did, or exactly what someone else did. And because you know your boy well, he'll help you with your decision. Please know that you and Butch are in our prayers.

Guest LindsaySF Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just now seeing this. Darn, I'm so sorry. You would never expect it to be Butch, when Bruce has the GME. The good news is if the lungs look clear then amputation and chemo has a very real chance of putting the cancer into remission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
