Cancer Sucks

[spamby]

Well here I sit taking care of my oldest pup, he was diagnosed with lymph cancer yesterday. He had his first chemo yesterday and is resting comfortable. This isn't the first time cancer has raised its ugly head around me. My adopted grandfather died from cancer and my grandmother's heart gave out after her first round of chemotherphy for stomach cancer. This sucks.

So I don't get hit with all kind of stuff for letting my dog go through chemotherphy, I had a long talk with the Vet about quality of life and his chances for a normal long life. Oh and I don't have kids. I've done my research and lymph cancer has a good suriviablity percentage. He's worth every penny.

Man, that just plain old sucks ... I have kids and my dogs are kids to me also. Having just lost Shadow not that long ago, I really feel for you. Like you, ultimately it came down to his quality of life.

You and your pup are in my prayers.

Would do anything, go thru anything for my "kids."

I'll be praying for you both.

Wish they had the improvements in treatment back when I had lymphoma...

That is a difficult situation. Good luck. I lost my father to cancer and our little Jack Russell as well recently.
