Email from my friend at Auburn Univ that showed Raven’s current head and chest xrays to oncology to look for mets:
“Consensus here is that no mets visible on Raven’s xrays but spots in lungs may be due to fluid issues he was having after the surgery.”
I’m even more relieved that I was when my vet couldn’t see anything either. So, being chondro and slow to metastasize, odds are good we got it all. Not doing chemo, not bothering to monitor for mets later (wouldn’t be any options really later and I guess I’d rather not put us both through it). For now Raven is doing *great*. He runs and eats well, is back to his old self prior to surgery.
You know how happy it makes you to see your dog enjoy a snooze in the sunshine, or play with a toy you bought them? I want God to know that I fully embrace the gifts He’s given me in these creatures, so that He can look down at me and see me content and fulfilled as I am.
I truly am so relieved. 🙂
Congratulations Raven!! That is so great, what wonderful news….
GREAT NEWS INDEED!!!! Raven is one lucky puppy, and you are one lucky human to have been given Raven 🙂 Keep it up!
Good news!
We all treasure those times through these battles when we can just enjoy having a dog, not a dog with issues…
