Vet Oncologist

December 18, 2010 I'm celebrating Christmas with Sammy. It's sad thinking this might possibly be my last Christmas with him.

I realized today that I have a much, much more difficult time talking about Sammy's possible diagnosis than my own. I've only shared with a few close friends and then on here, of course.

Looks like Sammy might get to visit with a veterinary oncologist. I always said that Sammy copied me with his multiple surgeries and now his possible cancer diagnosis. We have a vet oncologist in town and my vet will do a phone consult with her. I never would have entertained the idea of chemotherapy on Sammy but it seems as if chemo is different on dogs. The good news is that they do not lose their hair and I think that is saying a lot. We're nixing the idea of a CT scan too since he'll need to be put under for that.

HOPEFULLY he does NOT have cancer but to be continued...

Happy Holidays! May 2011 bring everyone nothing but good health and happiness. If you have good health and happiness you're the richest person in the world!
