Wonder Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) update post 46 ==================== I got the path report when I got to work this morning. The mass was a fibrohistiocytic nodule, grade 2. Prognoisis: favorable.So I googled it:By definition, fibrohistiocytic nodules are not malignant cancers, but rather describe a spectrum of abnormal lymphoid cell growth (proliferation), either with or without fibrohistiocytic cells.grade II nodules are called "benign fibrous histiocytoma"and the best part:If the diagnosis of grade II fibrohistiocytic nodule is confirmed, then further treatment is generally not necessaryThis morning he ate a HUGE bowl of meat- ground turkey, tripe and lamb. It was the most he'd eaten at once in a week. He had more bloodwork done last night to recheck his liver values. Those results should be back today.I'm still in shock that he's alive. Thank you again for all the prayers.I celebrated with a glass of chocolate wine last night (sorry, I don't have a red wine glass )This year has been a roller coaster of emotions (my grandma died). I have to much to be thankful for. I'm so grateful that I have a job that allows me to rush out to tend to my dogs and co-workers who are animal lovers. I was thinking last night, if this had happened when I was laid off a few years ago, there's no way I could have afforded the $6k it cost to save Lucky. I would have still done everything but no idea how I would have paid for it. I'm so glad that I'm in a position now that money isn't an issue.And most of all, I'm so thankful for my friends who have been here for me the last week. And everyone here on GT who prayed for him.

Guest OurLacyandJax Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I know all about this being a **ty year, Kari. You and us both. Anyways, I was so wanting him to come home a healthy boy! And I am so pleasantly surprised my wish was granted. Yeah, it's been that kinda year - you almost want to wish the opposite, so what you really want will come true. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carronstar Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I am so happy to hear this news. I was thinking last night that I really wanted for you to get the same call I got last year after Aquitaine had her spleen removed. A year later I am so very grateful that we got this past year. I may still be paying for the surgery but she is so very worth it. Lucky is truly lucky!!! So happy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
