Well, I didn't get much response the last couple of times I've written, but in case anyone is reading I thought I'd update. So Rascal is 5.5yrs old. He was diagnosed with the cancer above in November. He had surgery to remove half his foot, then a second surgery last month to remove a second new tumor from his leg and 4 lymph nodes in is armpit. I started chemo with Carboplatin, he had his second dose Monday. Yesterday I found a new tumor in front of his shoulder. I'm so frustrated. Don't know if it's worth putting him through another surgery, or if I just hope the chemo will keep the new tumor small. I know he's getting old, but he seems so spunky otherwise.
Sad and frustrated,
Cynthia
Rascal, Harley and Chaos
and the fab five over the bridge
