Guest LoveMyJoseyBean Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I am so so sorry about your sweet boy Romeo. Nobody thinks badly of you for your decision. You do what you have to do for Romeo and yourself, and it will be the right thing. Lots of hugs and Loves in the time you have left. :grouphug Edited March 21, 2009 by LoveMyJoseyBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest myjazzy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm so sorry about Romeo. Unfortunately, too many of us have gone through that. Don't feel bad about you decision, if the cancer is aggressive, treatment would probably not buy him much time. Cherish the time you have left with him.

BootsyCollins Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm so very sorry. We did not opt for anything other than pain management when our Argos was diagnosed. He lasted a month. It was a wonderful month. I wish you and Romeo as many wonderful hours, days, weeks together as possible.

I have had discussions about just this situation if i ever had to face it, I'm 100% behind your decision not to amputate. I wouldn't do it either. I hope you have some more good time with your boy.

Guest Pipi5 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I am so sorry. I just lost my Goghbaby in February to osteo sarcoma. I chose not to amp/chemo. I kept him on tramadol & rimadyl. Took lots of pictures. I was careful with what he did & when he became so uncomfortable, we said goodbye. Edited March 21, 2009 by Pipi5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
