Mia, my boston terrier has just had 5 mast cell tumors removed in the last 3 months and is finishing with her last week of chemo to help slow the recurrence. They suck! The chemo has made Mia pretty lethargic and she has lost 7 lbs (for a 26 lb dog this is pretty dramatic). I am trying to keep her active and eating, but think she will be more normal after the chemo is done. I get so paranoid when I am rubbing her looking for more of these tumors, hopefully it will be a while before we see more of them.

Good Luck with Miss Cookie, you are in my thoughts & prayers.

Poor Mia!! Is she on the vinblastine/prednisone protocol? I'm trying to decide if that's the direction I want to go with Cookie. It will depend partly on what grade the new tumor is. If it's a grade 1 or low grade 2 and completely excised, I probably will just let it ride. If it's worse, I may try the chemo. Unfortunately, because I graduate in just a couple of weeks, I lose my "in" at the vet school. I don't think I would be comfortable administering chemo to my own dog, I'd rather someone with lots of experience do it. If something happened because I didn't set the catheter properly or something I would be devastated. I'll just have to see how it goes.

Thanks for the positive vibes, everyone. Cookie is happy and otherwise healthy.

More bad news :(

Well, I found a lump in Cookie's shoulder on Saturday. I took her to the clinic today and aspirated it, and the cells are malignant. I don't know what kind of cancer it is, other than likely some sort of sarcoma.

She's scheduled for surgery next Tuesday. I won't be doing the surgery, and I'm debating about whether or not I'll stand in on it. Please keep Cookie in your thoughts.

I am so sorry Suzanne. You and Cookie will be in our thoughts. Cookie girl, you stay strong and fight this cancer. We are pulling for you girl, we know you can fight this.

((((HUGs)))) to both of you. Please keep us posted on Cookie and the surgery. How has she been doing lately?
