 Heartbroken :-(
My heart is breaking as I type this.... ultrasound came back today....they found a mass. Doctors think it's malignant but can't be 100% sure until they do exploratory surgery, which scares me to death!!!
I am soooo heartbroken right now, I dont know what to do. My husband and I have a sit down meeting with his vet tonight at 6:30p to discuss options. I would spend my last penny trying to save my baby, but my husband and I have to think practical and be honest with ourselves on whether we can afford what is about to transpire. We have already spent over $600 dollars since this past Saturday. This wouldn't be such a burden if I didn't have medical bills myself. 3 months ago I received a heart/kidney transplant in Chicago and I am getting bills out the ying yang!
This is terrible!!! Sorry for venting on here..... I am just devastated!! After all my husband and I have gone through this past several years....
1) My husband's 15 year old daughter (my step-daughter) died of cancer of the brain stem. 4-6-11
2) I got sick 5/11 and told I needed a heart/kidney transplant
3) 7/5/2012 my Father in Law passed away from Luekemia (ALL)
4) 7/11/2012 I thankfully received my heart/kidney transplant
5) 10/17/2012 Mass found in my beloved Bailey :-(
I dont want pity...trust me...I am a tough cookie.... but THIS is just way too much for me to handle!! This MASS HAS to me beneign (sp?) !!
We will probably end up doing the exploratory surgery no matter how much it is...we will find a way to pay for it.... b/c I just cant see myself NOT knowing if it IS CANCER. I HAVE to know!! I want to be able to treat him acccordingly.
PLEASE PRAY!!! I will update after we get some more answers from our vet tonight!! Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers!!
PS.....OH....they told me they think that the Pancreatis test was a false positive. He bounced back from it so fast...they think that it doesnt seem to be pancreatitis. They definitely think that a malignancy is going on in the liver or pancreas.....UGH!
