The good news is Miss Rosie is recovering from her muscle soreness and lameness after the Dastinab attempts. ❤❤❤. She's getting there and I think in the next few days will be right as rain!
The great news is that Mr Braden has no clinical evidence of disease after 1 cycle of the CHOP protocol. He didn't respond to the first 3 drugs but good ole doxorubicin shrunk a softball size lymph node to normal. He is now on a 2 drug protocol every 3 weeks. Lumestine (sp) and doxorubicin. 2 cycles. Yeah!!!
So now that they are both doing better maybe I can relax some and enjoy our days.
Just wanted to share some good news 🙏🐕❤🙏🐕❤

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Yay! So glad to hear they are both improving. Lots of ups and downs. We have to really enjoy those "up" days and really comfort and baby them on their "down" days.
Otis - 121 lbs pre amp - 114 lbs post amp and now 118 lb Great Dane - English Mastiff X. Started limping on 12/24/16. Diagnosed with Osteosarcoma 12/28/16 - amputation of front left leg on 1/6/17. Stitches out and 1st round of Chemo on 1/19/17. 2nd round of Carboplatin on 2/10/17 - 3rd round on 3/2/2017. 4th round was scheduled for 3/22/17 - however due to low WBC postponed - 4th Chemo completed on 3/28/17. Had breathing difficulties, stayed in Tufts ICU overnight. Due for 2 more rounds of Chemo but we are opting to go with homeopathy with Dr. Loops instead.
That is great news! Glad they are both doing so well!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Oh yay!!! I so had to click on this post first and foremost and I am so GLAD I did!!! Cheers and more cheers for Miss Rosie!!! So happy for you all!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.
