I just found a lump on Lydia’s chest. I’m trying really hard not to freak out. When I say I just found it, I mean just minutes ago. I was petting her while we snuggled on the couch and then I felt something under my fingers. I immediately got knots in my stomach and rolled [...]
Archie and I accompanied Lydia to see her oncologist today and he had good news for us! She’s looking good and he couldn’t find a darn thing wrong with her. She was pretty excited to see him and I was pretty excited to hear him say she’s doing so well. We celebrated (once it cooled [...]
Lydia went in for her monthly visit with her oncologist today. What I was expecting to be the usual oncology routine turned out to be something much different. No more chemo! That’s right. No more chemotherapy for Lydia! It’s been 9 months since Lydia had a couple of very small cancerous tumors removed. Since then [...]
As you probably know, my dog Lydia was diagnosed with cancer in July of last year. She’s still going through chemo treatment although, fortunately, she’s still in remission. (Yay, Lydia!) So, when I saw this story in US News and World Report about an experimental cancer treatment for the very same cancer she has it [...]
Yesterday Lydia visited her oncologist and got the same wonderful news we always hope for…NO cancer! Her ultrasound didn’t show anything other than what it should have. Her cancer is still in remission, and she’s doing absolutely great! She’s been a bit sluggish today because of the chemo yesterday, so she’s not feeling her best, [...]
It’s time for the monthly Lydia report, and it’s pretty much the same as last month’s, which means she’s doing excellent! The cancer is still in remission and the doc said her blood work looked great and so does she. (That’s my girl!) Our usual routine has been chemo every month with an ultrasound every [...]
I didn’t sleep last night because today was ultrasound and chemo day for Lydia, and it’s always troublesome to think of what might show up. Tonight though, I’ll sleep like a baby. The news we got from her vet was great! Her cancer is still in remission. Dr. H. and I talked about the options [...]
Lydia’s doing great! She had a pretty busy day today and is lying on the couch next to me as I type. I thought about going into the office to get some work done but I don’t have the heart. She looks so comfortable and I know if I get up she will too. Thank [...]
