Oh Gosh what would I do without you guys? Okay Zoey is due in today for oncologist. Unfortunately I've now palpated some swellings. At least I think I did. That if true is not good news....

Stem Cell is Not done in Canada as far as I know - my brief research into it says that it can only be applied to dogs in remission, and Zoey well is not. Plus another google or two seem to indicate 12-15K for the treatment .... Geesh.

We shall see what the oncologist says today, because last treatment she indicated if Zoey's swellings did not ALL go down and stay down for at least that wk, that well, she is not hopefull for Zoey's prognosis. She basically last wk was preparing us for losing Zoey.

Hubby and I have talked and talked and talked about this situation. We feel we know what we can do and want to do, for a couple of different scenarios. There are many factors here, including the human emotion toll. This is not something that is easily cured, or indeed has high cure rates. Gosh I wish it was as simple as getting LP or even FHO surgery. Even LS surgery. But that is not our situation. As much as it pains me to think of this and to share this, we are prepared to let Zoey go if indeed she has not been fully responsive to the last mega chemo treatment. Zoey despite being fed 3lbs which is 1lb more of food a day, appears not to have gained weight. That in and of itself is very worrisome. We will get her weight at the vets today and then I can tell more.

Well it is almost time for us to go. Once again I thank you all for your prayers and support.
