Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Vicki (Scoops mom) is in email contact with Dr. B and he has answered her questions and continues to do so.
So that is an option. I read a good review of radiation therapy results too. Doccy is doing the trial at University of Florida right?
I think having a plan is one of those things that really helps. Until you come up with something, anything to feel like you can move forward. Well, it drives me nuts anyway. :)

Hey, I am so much better today!:) I am able to discuss this stuff without falling apart!!!!:). I absolutely know that Buddy's prognosis is bleak, but making him comfortable for the duration is what is important. Right now Buddy is yapping his brains out because a Lizard just scurried under the fence and he can't get to it! I am sitting out in the backyard with my IPad watching this drama unfold. I can't help but smile!:D My little, wobbly, Cush dog, who face plants regularly, is always the hunter!:D He is not giving up and isn't crying about it, so I shouldn't either. ;)

Hey Marianne,
How about flying out to San Diego and riding with Buddy and I to LA to see Dr. B? You'd know all the right questions to ask!:)

Hugs,
Kathy

Sharlene,
Could you get Dr. B's email address from Scoops's mom for me? That would be great if you could. I would like to ask him about the Trilo and prednisone combo for drug treatment for a Macro.

Thanks,
Hugs,
Kathy

Hey Kathy, Vicki may have an additional email addy for Dr. B, but here's a link with his bio and an email contact.

(And I would love, love to head out your way :o :). I lived in West Hollywood for a couple of years during the '70s, but never made it down to San Diego although I always wanted to...)

Thanks Marianne,
Hugs,
Kathy

I think you are doing great Kathy!! :) You and Buddy both.

I think I'd be the same as you if this were molly we were talking about. In fact I'm sure of it. Just knowing how much I cried at the diagnosis of cushings is a pretty good sign of that.

I did find this one David.Bruyette@VCAHospitals.com
I'll see if that is what Vicki is using

Hugs,
Sharlene

LOL Marianne were typing at the same time. I think it is the one Vicki is using, but I've asked her just to be sure.

Sharlene

Thanks Sharlene,
I have never been one to stay down for long. I am too ornery for that!:D Once I get beyond the processing stage of a problem, I am usually okay. It's the initial devastation that is a killer. :eek: :eek::eek:I'm sure that I will be visiting that place of insanity again, when it comes to the time that I have to let Buddy go. In the meantime, we continue to plow on! Thanks for all of the help and support angels.:)

Hugs,
Kathy

Kathy
