Nervous
 

So I got a text today from my dog walker telling me she feels a lump in Boomer's throat. She said it is small. Boomer was just at the vet in December and all bloodwork came back normal.


I have an appointment with the vet today at 5 pm and will leave work early to take him. He has been having so many issues lately I just am a nervous wreck. I hope it is nothing and I am overreacting but I don't know what it could be. He has been a little off lately. Hopefully writing this post will help calm me down.

How did your vet visit for Boomer go I hope that lump your dog walker felt is nothing. I understand being nervous over thatcause I would be too.let us know the outcome would you?

Oh, please update us on Boomer. I hope that everything is good. Poor little guy.

Update
 

Saw the vet and he has several swollen lymph nodes. Not good. He did a biopsy and right now we are just waiting on results. I won't have any news until Monday or Tuesday.

He said it is either an infection or worst case cancer. I am praying it is not cancer as I don't know what I will do.

He had a full work up three weeks ago with no infection detected so that is not a good sign :(. He said if cancer he will refer me to an oncologist, however, there is no cure for this type of cancer and with medication/chemo only gives him so much longer according to him. Boomer is young but I am freaking out.

Additionally, even though I have insurance the cost of the oncology visits will be at least $150 - $200 each time and that is something I cannot afford if I need to go often. I know I shouldn't think of money but it is in the back of my mind. Because as much as I love him I also cannot go into more debt. I was saving each month for when his kidney issue would get worse but I just haven't saved enough yet.

He is my baby and I love him. I am a person that worries and has to analyze all the outcomes. I tried talking to family after the visit and all I got was lectured like a child and told how dare a vet give me the worst case scenario knowing who I am. I just needed to vent and maybe cry but of course, that didn't happen. It sucks sometimes not having the support needed.

That's why YT is here, for support. Sorry to hear about Boomer, hope those results show infection and nothing more serious, poor lil guy has enough going on. Ppl that are not crazy in love with or do not have or never have owned fur babies cannot not understand that these babies are family, your family, your babies. Keeping Boomer in my prayers for good lab results. (((hugs)))

Saying a prayer for Boomer and hoping it is just an infection!

Thinking of you at this difficult time!
