My
tummy hurts a little.
I
went back to the hospital 10 days ago. I told you a couple of weeks ago that I
had to have this small lymph node removed. Well, that’s gone now. Mum dropped
me off in the morning and picked me up in the evening. Don’t really know what happened
in between but apparently it was not too bad.
The
doctor told Mum that all went well, taking into consideration that the lymph
node was very close to the main artery into my rear paws. Mum said if anything
happens to my rear paws, she will build me a wheely chair so we can still go on
walkies.
The
doctor said that the lymph node was full of active cancer. That, of course, is
not so good.
My tummy hurts a little now and I lost my appetite for a while but
I am recovering fast and before she knows it, I’ll be drooling down mum's lap
again for more biscuits. We went back yesterday to have the stitches removed
and to start up chemo again.
The
oncologist said that, as long as they can reach the infected lymph nodes, they
can remove them. Some of the lymph nodes are in too dangerous a place, like in
between 2 arteries (left and right rear paw). If those lymph nodes get infected, they will not be able to
remove it. But there are other chemo options, be it more expensive ones.
We
will have to wait and see what happens next and if we can afford whatever needs
to be done.
Right
now, it looks like I’ve got some good months ahead of me and I intend to enjoy
them to the utmost!
Holiday pictures next!
