Re: Lucygoo updates
Hi guys,
Thanks for all the well wishes. Dr. Bruyette wants me to bring her in Monday morning and leave her there, so we'll see. I've kind of already made a decision that if they find anything I'm not going to subject her to any more surgery. She's so weak now I don't want to put her through that trauma. She had a better day today, actually ate this morning and now I'm giving her a probiotic twice a day so we'll see how that works. I felt what I'm pretty sure is another small mast cell tumor on her neck below her mouth, but I seriously don't think I should do anything to treat it. I don't want to deprive her of treatment but I just don't think it's fair anymore. Ugh, this is so hard. Will post updates Monday when I find out.

Re: Lucygoo updates
Hi everyone....
I'm afraid I have bad news to report. They did an ultrasound today because Dr. Bruyette found a mass in Lucy's abdomen and she's got an aggressive cancer in her spleen and involving the blood vessels. I think he also said it was in the pancreas but I'm so upset now I can't remember.
Long story short, she probably has another month, unless she has more bad days than good; then we'll have to make a decision sooner. It's nothing they can operate on and/or do chemo...not that she's strong enough to withstand that anyway. He said she's not in pain but it's just making her feel weak. I thought I was prepared for this but I'm so not. Just wanted to let you all know and to thank you all for your support over these last couple years.

Re: Lucygoo updates
Dearest Gina,
Sending our love and prayers your way. Lucy is so lucky to have had a wonderful life with an amazing mom. It is so hard for us human parents to realize that we always think of dog years as being human years and they are just not the same. It is the price we pay for the unconditional love we get. Give Lucy a big hug from us and a very looong tummy rub. Please take care of yourself and keep us updated. We are standing beside you.
Love and tight hugs,
Carrol & Chloe
