Jen - another important thing to remember is that -- don't let the disease itself you intimidate you --- I just have to tell you this because I know some amazing story --- I have a sister in Japan whose dog has had lymposarcama (?) for the past 10 years, and the vet had given her only six months to live, which was 10 years ago,,, and she is still with us, happily - she outlived all of her sisters and brothers.. I consider it to be a miracle,, and she does have cancer all over her body, but she is living happily ---- and this story always make me think of focusing on the presence and not let any name of the disease intimate us too much!

He's home now and already feeling much better (even ate some deli turkey!). I'll have to check the receipt, but I think he only got dex today...so I'm tempted to give him pred tonight? I gave him some fish oil (heard that Omega 3 helps slow growth in some tumors) and will basically look into the things that I was afraid to give him while he was on chemo...but I also believe that steriods are our best bet for quality time from here on out... I can't thank you enough for all of your advice, Michelle...you and the members of the list have been a huge comfort for me when I feel absolutely lost and alone in all of this...I know how hard it is to read about the failing health of any of our fur-kids...it's been unbearable for me at times...but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your thoughts and prayers... I'll keep you guys updated! Right now, Ewok is scarfing down Fancy Feast... :) Jen **************************************************** "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
