QuoteAs some of you know, last month we discovered lung mets (3 small nodules) on Mackenzie and a lump on her side that was a metastsis from her osteosarcoma. I took her to the vets today for her monthly check-up (included a chest x-ray) and I'm so happy to report that 2 of the 3 nodules she has did not increase in size at all and 1 nodule actually shrunk in size by half! Not only that but the lump on her side had not changed at all "stable" as the doctor said. Huge huge sigh of relief! I'm ecstatic for this day. And to top it off, the chemo that Mackenzie's on now (called Palladiam – very expensive – she's also on cytaxin) was given to us for free today for a month's supply as part of their donated meds.
And the ice cream on the cake…drum roll please…. we are celebrating her 9 month ampuversary and 11 months since her diagnosis today!! What a great day it is!
Now for Barney – for those of you who don't know, the Killbarney tour was recently here in sunny California visiting Mackenzie and her little brother Kobe. It was quite the adventure – if you'd like to check it out, go to: http://www.mack…..ipawds.com.
It's a wonderful day in the tripawd neighborhood!

Awesome report. Mackenzie is in great hands with you and evidently with her vet also. To get the chemo drugs for a month for free is just so generous. Woohoo Mackenzie, keep up the good work, sweetheart. Nine months is a great accomplishment.
Haven't seen the Barney tour good times with you and Kobe, but will check it out shortly.

Kami, that's just wonderful news. I'm so glad Mackenzie's visit to the vet was a positive one. Adda free month of chemo and a very special 9 month ampuversary on top and you have a day to remember!
Fortis would have shared a bit of his steak with Mackenzie and even some with Kobe in celebration of such a special day!!
