QuoteTripawd Daisy received good news yesterday. The pathology report on her leg came back. It is not cancer! The report said the "lytic lesion observed on radiograph is inflammatory, not neoplastic". She still would have lost her leg as the destruction to her elbow joint due to arthritis was so severe, with destruction to the bone. I am so glad that I ended up choosing amputation for her. My first thought upon the cancer diagnoses was euthanasia as I didn't think I wanted to put her through that. Everyone's stories here helped me realize life on three legs can be just as good so thankfully I changed my mind.
Everyone has been so supportive to Daisy and me. I keep alternating between wanting to celebrate and sadness for all the beautiful dogs whose news has not always been so great. My only way to describe how I feel is it is sorta like having survivors guilt.
Daisy's recovery from her amputation continues to go pretty smoothly. It has now been 1 week since her surgery.
Best to all.

Marla, that's wonderful news! And the survivor's guilt thing? I know that one. Dakota had cancer, but it was not OSA and the chance of metastasis is very low so I assume he will live his normal lifespan with no cancer-related issues. That has made me feel at times like sharing his monthly ampuversaries would be wrong, celebrating when others are mourning. I've been told, though, that it's important for everyone here to be able to celebrate victories. So I share.
I have forgotten how old Daisy is, but I hope she has many, many years of tripawdhood ahead of her. Maybe it's time to get out the sparkly tiara so she can join the ranks of TWP (tripawd warrior princess). The site has recently been taken by storm with them. It's like a convention! And Daisy obviously belongs. We'll celebrate with you this morning. I'll find something special for the pack and we'll toast Daisy with the morning caffeine!

This is about the best news that there could possibly be and we are so thrilled for you and Daisy, Marla! I think that many of us really, really needed something to celebrate and help us through some sad times. So, forget that "survivor's guilt" feeling!! For me, at least, learning that one of our tripawds family is not going to have to deal with that awful disease is a Christmas gift that we're so happy you're sharing with us.

OfflineGosh – that is amazing news. I am really happy for you!! I don't think I have heard things turn out that way since joining tripawds in July 2009. But it is great. Forget survivor's guilt. As someone with a dog who did not survive or live particularly long following amputation, I don't wish anyone to go through this. The fewer dogs with cancer, the better! But if we have to go through it, our friends on this site make the journey far more meaningful and help us enjoy our pups while they are with us.
I bet you are going to have one terrific holiday!
