Carlo update as of 11/9

[shodanusmc]

Just got back from the Bet with Carlo and Maxine. Carlo had a blood test and exam, prior to taking his CEENU Cancer Pill. He weighed a solid and hard 135 pounds, everything normal, blood and liver test outstanding. He will get the pill on WED, and is on a new 6 week schedule. He is one walking miracle.

Maxine also went, and I will sadly have to start a thread on her.

Glad to hear Carlo is doing so well. Did he weigh the same when he was diagnosed?

I was so happy to see that Carlos is doing great and this is surely a miracle. I am keeping him in my prayers and will pray for Maxine. I do not know what is the matter with her but I am sending prayers her way and for you. Hopefully everything goes well we do not like to hear bad news only wonderful news. Take care of and keep us posted. Susan

We noticed a lump on Maxines chest, about 1 inch under her neck. Noticed it over the weekend, and since Carlo had a scheduled Appointment, figured we would also take Maxine and the vet would see her also. The Vet took an Aspirate to look at the cells on a slide. The first one showed hardly any cells, so she did it again. Same result, so she said if it was her dog, she would have it removed, as it seems to be attached to the chest muscle, and is pretty hard. We have Maxine scheduled for surgery on Thursday, Feb 10 at 8 am and they will send the lump out to see what it is identifued as, and take it from there. Marge is pretty upset, but I am keeping a brave face on for her, but it is also affecting me. We hope it is nothing. Maxine is almost 14, and in great health outside of her night vision deteriorating. One good deal after another it seems. While she is under, they will also clean her teeth.

He was a lean 120 pounds or so when he was diagnosed. After the surgery, he dropped down to 109, zooned up to 139 after a few months of the Prednisone, and has now varied between 133 and 137...It has been so cold and snowy, he has not gotten as much ecercise as he is used to, around 2-3 mile walks a day.

Steve, I just replied on your other post about Maxine.

My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family, especially Maxine, and hope this turns out to be nothing. Hugs to all!

Oh, so happy about Carlo; but upset about Maxine. Prayers for your little princess.
Often these things are benign Steve....I so hope this is.

[MaddiesMommie]

As I said in Maxine's thread I will be saying prayers for her as well as Carlo's continued recovery and good health.

[Lisa and Pic]

Steve, Good to hear about Carlo and how things are going so well.

Will keep Maxine in my thoughts and prayers and please give your wife our best regards and tell her we are all sending positive thoughts for this surgery on your sweet girl.

Very happy to hear Carlo continues to do very well! He is an inspiration. Tell him to look after his little sister.

Kisses to both furbutts, and hugs to the humans. I know worrying about them can be rough on us too.

That's wonderful news about Carlo. I hope we see this same type of message next week about Maxine! I will be thinking positive thoughts for your family.

It makes me so happy to read that Carlo is doing so well, but now I'm worrying about Maxine.
