Ellie's thyroid tumor--update Hi,
Yesterday, Ellie had the procedure to get a "sample" of the tumor. the pathologist and oncologist, along with 2 other drs. are going to confer over the results on Monday (when they get it back from the lab). In the meantime, I contacted Dr. marc Peterson who does the Iodine radiology (2 doctors told me about his treatment), but he said he only does it with cats. The treatment is in the research stage with dogs...in Tennessee.
I was too upset to write on here today. I had held on the hope that Dr. Peterson would be able to treat Ellie....now I find out today that he will not.....
I need a miracle for Monday.
I will post what happens, and hopefully someone may comment on it. I am all alone and scared.
Right now, Ellie does not seem to be experiencing any pain. She coughs once in a while, drinks more than usual, and pees more than usual. She eats and plays. I never want her to suffer.
I'll find out more about the tumor on Monday.....
thank you everyone, again.....
