I Am Experiencing Same Thing

March 1st, I found out that my female boxer of 8 years, ROXY, has bone cancer in her right hind leg. The tumor has already eaten at her bone. I know what you are going through & I sympathize to no end! As the vet told me about the diagnosis, I cryed! And havent stoped crying. On monday, march 6th, we went to put her asleep, but 10 minutes before we were supposed to put her to sleep, we couldnt!! She also acts herself! she has her energy & her happiness! The vet put her on pain killers & anti inflammatory--but her leg is soo big! the bruising got bad-- so instead of putting her to sleep we thought "why wonder if shed live past the amputation" --so she is in West Chester PA right now, getting surgery... we are having her leg amputated & hoping for the best!!!! After surgery , we will put her through chemo-- i know its hard b/c you dont want to put them through that, but i have talked to many who said that they walk with 3 legs within days & chemo leaves them sick for only a week at the most--but i would discuss this with a couple vets (get different opinions) ... call an oncologist. I know it may be in the rest of her body but i hope that god will keep my baby around--shes my life & my best friend! whatever you decide, i wish you the best-- i would love to talk so we can help each other out through this-- please email me @ removed by moderator

Sincerely,
Danielle

I just found out that my boxer has bone cancer. He fractured his leg one yr ago and had it set for 6 week and we had no problems then I noticed him limping last week and that that area was swollen. I took him to the vet and he suspected cancer so they did a bone needle test and it was cancer. The vet said by the time you normally know there's a problem it has already spread to other parts. I have cried all week and I am so heart broken. Has anyone experienced this. The vet said it could be a few weeks or possible a few months. I just don't know if I can take it I have cried all week and continue as I write this. The vet said we could apputate his leg but he would have to go thru major surgery and recovery and still want live much more than 6 month or so. I can't see putting my baby thur all that. He is my baby...please pray for him and my family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Roxy and your family tonight. I pray she comes thru surgery great and has many happy days to share with you. It's a very hard road to travel but as they grow weaker you find that you grow stronger. I cried for 2 weeks and I swear it felt like my heart was being ripped out but thanks to all the great people on here and alot of prayers and good vibes Rocky & I are fighting that old cancer monster as long as he is up to it and then when he's not we'll get rid of the cancer monster for good. Yes I still cry after 2 months...two times already tonight. You never know when or why sometimes. Tonight Rocky's had sad eyes and I started crying...it's definetley as Wanda always said a real roller coaster ride...up and down. The best bit of advise everyone gave me was spoil him, snuggle, kiss, hug, give them treat...take lots of pictures and make alot of memories to always hold in your heart. Yes I am crying again so better go ....keep me updated and we'll say a special prayer for Roxy....in boxer love...Rocky & Mom

Hope Rocky and you are doing well! Chancey & I are celebrating her birthday later on...with a bath and maybe some home made dog biscuit making.
Take care & hugs to you
Wanda Chancey & Kiddo

Hey Vicky,hope you guys didn't get hit with any of the horrible weather there. How's Rocky doing? My thoughts are always with you guys. It's been a week since saying goodbye to Kiddo. We've adjusted well-except for Friday night when I realized it was me who gave up before Kiddo did....but I keep reliving those painful attacks she was having and the look in her eyes as she fought for each breath. I know I did the right thing. Hugs to you all

Wanda, Here's one for you to have a good laugh about. It was so warm over the weekend so I put Rocky's bed on the deck and left the door open (only way he will stay out) so he layed there in the sun and warmth for quite awhile when he came in I reach over and hugged him and I smell fresh linen smell....then I laughed to myself what do you expect he's been hanging out in the sun and air. He seems to be doing ok except tumor is getting so large and I have accepted that he pants more but everything else is going fine. You did what was right for Kiddo...she's pain free now...it's the selfishness that makes us want to hold on...looking at Rocky's leg makes me want to cry but I am just not quite ready to let go. We missed the bad part of the storm...we did get some welcome rain. Those were really bad in some parts. You and Chancey are in our thoughts and we miss not seeing your post....hang in there...Rocky & Mom
