Well, after two surgeries since November and the first two doses of Carboplatin, the cancer won today. Rascal was bouncing around the house yesterday with Harley and Chaos. He snuggled with me this morning too. I came home after class at 10 this morning and he looked as if he were having a seizure. I knew this was the end, so I rushed back to work (at a vet clinic) and one of the doctors helped Rascal along. I knew the cancer was aggressive, but he's been so great this whole time. I really thought that the chemo would buy him more time. Like I said, he was a total Rascal yesterday. Even when you know it will come eventually, it still hurts when it does come. He really was the best.
