ramonaghan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Dammit. I am so, so sorry. Please try not to second-guess yourself. You did everything you could for her, but this disease is just so evil and relentless. Rest well, Fiona. You will be loved always.

EllenEveBaz Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 This is the absolute worst part of having these strong, beautiful creatures in our lives -- when we have to let them go. Ultimately, nothing you could have done or not done would have changed the outcome. As the poem and play titles say, your arm's too short to box with God. May Fiona's spirit run with the wind.

Pete Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Thanks for the support. We’re completely devastated. She was doing so well and then last few days took a turn down. Fluid in chest around the lungs, an abnormality on the breastbone and “unusual” specks in lungs. Just a few weeks ago she had a “clean” x ray. Dr. Cuoto speculates it’s metastic osteo to the thorax. I was looking for coughs or lethargic change or loss of appetite. None of those happened. Chest filled with fluid is what she got, pain from the squeeze. We could have drained it but vet said it’s likely to come back just as fast. I surely thought we’d have more time. We spent so much good time together and I have no regrets about that. Fiona was amazing and still had years of life left. Just heartbreaking to see her leave. Just sitting here now where she usually is, shocked at it all.

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...

okslater Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I'm so sorry. We had a similar rapid decline with a different type of cancer in our 8 year old. It really knocked us for six. Nearly a year on we still miss her terribly. It really is the pits. You'll get through it and we all feel for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
