Update
Well after hounding the lab for Maddie's recut biopsy results, we finally received the report last night. I knew in my heart/gut what the results would be and I was right. The recut did not show any tumor in the piece we removed from Maddie's pancreas. So it is confirmed now, the malignant tumor is still inside my baby. I feel like I let my baby down, I feel like I failed her and the guilt is overwhelming. We will run a few more tests on Tuesday to pretty much rule out a few things (which the doctor already thinks the test will be normal) but she wants to be 100% sure. She will be started on prednisone and I pray that will at least help stabilize her levels. I just want my old Maddie back........the way she was before I put her through that surgery. She is still not herself, her numbers are still dropping and/or remaining pretty low. So now we wait for the results of the new tests we will be running and if I remember correctly I think the internist said we will re-ultrasound her in a month (not like that will do us any good now). I am just so upset right now. I guess I can only hope for her to have some type of "rare" or uncommon problem (which would hopefully not be something bad) be causing her hypoglycemia instead of a malignant tumor on her pancreas. We will be rerunning the test they use to diagnose insulinomas, I wonder if her levels will be even worse now.
We can still use all the prayers and positive thoughts if you can spare them. I can't thank you all enough for being here for us and keeping my baby in your thoughts and prayers. I will update again when we get the bloodwork back on the new tests we will be running. I guess I am still trying to hold onto the teeniest, tiniest glimmer of hope that something will help her.

Carrie,
All we can do is our best and make decisions that seem right at the time - whether we are talking about our fur or skin babies. Don't second guess yourself as you made a tough decision with the best knowledge available.
Many, many prayers and fingers and paws crossed for you and Maddie. Have hope - miracles DO happen.
