Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

I am just like you and prefer to process it on my own initially, so fully understand that. I feel sick with you :o

Tracy, I have to go take Flynn to the vet and then to work but I will be checking in during the day. Talk soon xxxxx

Tracy:
I am waiting with you, and praying. Blessings

Bug hug, Paws up Woody Boy

Checking in real quick and waiting with you here too. I know that sick feeling all to well Tracy and feel it along with you. I hope you get the call soon. Love and prayers to you and Woody. Big hugs. xo

Ian has called he said how sorry he was of what they found today. He has been down to the ward and saw Woody just before he rang me and he said he was comfortable and sleepy but he did lick his hand when he sat with him. Ian hasn,t saw the US from today yet, but will view it with Laura in the morning, but he has read all the notes from all the tests today. He explained about where the tumours were and where they had spread to something we,ve spoken about last week about. Sadly in his option which I do value surgery is not an option for Woody, they could take the tumour out the liver out but as its so aggressive (its 6 weeks since his last scan which was all clear)then he expects that it has already went to another organ as in 6 weeks the cancer has invaded the gut and the liver. He said Woody would be just recovered from one surgery when another tumour could pop up else where in his body, his exact words were "you will be forever chasing the next tumour." and I can,t do that to him :( He has assured me that Woody hasn,t been in pain daily as to him he looked really good last week when we saw him. He has said that they could offer Woody the Pallida drug but this is not guaranteed to work and with the side effects he,s not sure. I,ve to think about it overnight. So in a nutshell it looks like Terry is going to win, they have offered me palliative care for him and have said they will support me and woody to the end. :mad:

It is the news no one should ever have to hear. Tracy, I am so sorry.

Not what we wanted to hear at all, none of us. My heart is just breaking for you both, honey. Woody has always been a fighter so he may well surprise us all yet again. I'm sure it is a relief to hear that he has not been in pain all this time. Please know we remain by your side every step of the way.

May hugs and belly rubs,
Leslie and the gang

Tracy:
I am just sick inside hearing this. I have been crying since reading it. I am so sorry this is happening to your boy. I will support what ever decision you make and be with you all the way. I wish I had that magic wand that alludes everyone on here. I truly know how you must feel. There is no easy decision here and for that I am truly sorry. Please know I will continue to pray for you and Woody. Blessings

i hope your woody will surprise us all....... enjoy his company. hope they can keep him painfree.

Thanks everyone I,ve called the hospital and its Emma that,s on again tonight. We had a good long chat about things and if I,m honest when he collapsed on Monday something looked very different in him so I had slightly prepared myself for bad news, not this bad though maybe surgery. I love Woody more than words can say but I won,t see him suffer, so I,ve made a decision no more poking and proding, needles, stress nothing he,s done with all that so I going to bring him home tomorrow and love him for however long he feels he can stay with me cause we all know everything is Woodys way or the highway.:D

I had to tell my niece tonight and she is in pieces, but she understands so she will come stay the weekend with us. So everyone when you look across the room and you,re furbaby is lying there or curled up on its bed give it a little extra hug cause although there not all healthy there still all here cause that's what I will be doing with woody tomorrow when he comes home I will hug him and not let go.

Theres been a lot of sadness on the board this week and it doesn,t seem fair but I,m sure these pups come into our lives for a reason whether its to make us better people, happier people whatever the reason its still so darn hard to let them go
