Chemo underway

WOW what a decision that was…so many decisions already made & more was again required of which type to go with…my brain was frazzled!!

So…we decided to undertake chemotherapy alone which started earlier this week! We were so worried that Sandy would have side effects but knew that the end result would outweigh these making it the right decision for her.

However….Sandy has again surprised me! No side effects have been noticed & that special spark has returned…Sandy is the playful senior pup I always knew her to be & I cannot begin to explain how many warm fuzzy content feelings and happy emotions I have running through my body right now!! I am soooo proud of her & how she is managing through all this…I certainly need to be more Sandy as WOW what a super star she really is!

Today we are celebrating the return of Sandys first blood results being well & therefore not requiring any antibiotics to protect her…again, I am esthatic & going into the vets today for the test did not concern me at all as with Sandy being so energetic & bubbly (loving her introduction to fishy meals too) I knew she’d be just fine!

Sandy came back to me a few minutes after her blood test with such bounce and energy that even she knew it’d all be okay!

I am so VERY proud of Sandy & although it is cold & miserable weather outside, we are feeling nothing but warm, happy & hoppy in our stride! This week has been amazing seeing so many positive progressions in Sandy’s appetite, playfulness & energy. She is still teaching me new things in life even 12yrs 4months down the line together.

Onwards & upwards it is my special little tripaw warrior princess!

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. View all posts by Dawnie
