Chemo changes

So we made it through another three chemo sessions for the newest cancer and the appetite after the third had vanished for near on a week…even her fav chicken and rice wouldn’t tempt her-therefore the  fourth session was therefore cancelled.

We now have started chemo tablets. These could be for a short period or for life. The oncologist has not decided as yet. Keeping sandy happy and the chemo at bay is our mission. We are stil fighting to win this!

Trying to get tablets down her is proving a pain with the previcox for her arthritis so these chemo capsules which I have been told not to touch is proving further difficult. Ham ham and more ham is the saving grace at the moment to wrap them in tightly. I hope this trick stays. Sandy is pretty clever at sussing my tricks out.

A few nice days  in the garden with the beautiful sunshine meant that we were able to relax together in the fresh air – even sandy had sun cream on her shaven patch – what a day for munching ice it was.

We are keeping our spirits high and loving life every day that comes, feeling blessed for the time we have together. Be more dog….we all need to be more dog! 🐾

Sandy was diagnosed with arthritis & medicated, however none worked & I pushed for a specialists opinion to be told that she had a fracture caused by bone cancer. We had to make a HUGE decision immediately to amputate or say farewell. Having fought off a number of prior cancers we were keen to fight this one as Sandy was fit & healthy in all other aspects & her tail & eyes told me not to give up. This was a HUGE decision leaving me feeling guilty & in turmoil over the decision, but Sandy is thriving. Awaiting results was nerving & we were praying they that they were the less aggressive type however inconclusive results meant a Chemo route. Sandy has managed this very well & continuing to thrive making us so proud every day at just how resilient & strong she is.
