I have tried everything possible but we have come to the end of the road for trying to save his leg. It has to come off. So, he will be having his right leg amputated by Skylos Sports Medicine in Frederick MD Monday.
He is already back to being his gluttonous self.
They said not to panic if he didn’t want to eat for days.
As if.
I still feel like the village idiot, though.
Great picture and updates. Prayers for much happiness ahead.
No. You brought about a bright outcome for the both of you.
Besides, who gonna go through Wonder Dog to bring enny trubbles to you?
Keep us posted, right? I came in after the amputation was mentioned, so I didn't get any of the early word.
Prayers for your special pup.
Thank you.
He’s back to stuffing his face like food will be outlawed soon.
:)
It’s been a 10 month ordeal.
Tried the stereotactic radiation to kill the bone tumor, had radiation burn issues that I swear made it worse instead of better, then chemo and Zometa infusions but being a wild thing, he wound up fracturing it and left us no other options.
It’s been a forced march through hell.
I would have much preferred all that had happened to me, instead.
Sure, I would have been upset about it but nowhere near as upset as I am over it happening to him.
So grateful for the prayers!
Yay! Keeping you all in my prayers.
Awwww he’s a cutey. Prayers for you both for a speedy recovery.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!
:)
Yesterday, when I brought him home, it was Feast of St Francis of Assisi day.
Hoping that gave us a little extra luck!
They notice.
They don't dwell on it and feel sorry for themselves.
They just get on with their loves lives.
(Interesting typo I caught and struck out at the last moment...)
So Gypsy my little Portuguese Podengo didn’t make it to her 17th birthday.
I went to give her her supper before I left and she was gone.
I can’t even cry.
I went to Goodwill and got her a beautifully ornate pillow sham to bury her in.
Two dogs in less than a year and I have no idea how long my boy will last.
Well, seems I just lied.
I can cry…now.
So many prayers. For him and for you ma’am.
Dear Lord, please, hear our prayers on behalf of these good people and their sweet funny boy.

Sighs - I should look at dates….
I am glad he is eating, and PRAY that soon, Very soon he will be teaching us all how to persevere my dear FRiend.

Update:
So I talked to his surgeon today and it’s osteosarcoma but said something like not “super aggressive”.
My misery is that the biopsy showed live cancer cells in the primary tumor that SHOULD have been, as I would told, be killed by the SRT.
We could be facing more chemo after all of this hell and now the amputation.
How did cancer survive the SRT???
All this money spent has broken me, not to mention the emotional cost and I’m no further ahead than when it all began??
I just don’t get it.
I did the SRT because it was supposed to KILL the tumor but obviously did not.
Just broken.
I have little left to sell but I NEED to keep trying.
He is still happy twirling and hungry as a horse, all good signs.
Trying to adapt to a missing leg as best he can.
I cannot give up on him.
He is my most precious thing and really all I have.
Every little bit helps and I have Care Credit debts that are terrifying and now we face more chemo, which about $4-5K.
Please pray, if nothing else!
I cannot survive living without him *and* an emotionally abusive husband.
I don’t WANT to. :’(
