I have no experience with lung mets, but just wanted to offer my support to you. Please keep us posted!

Sending you lots of golden hugs,

Cathy

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little more optimistic today. We did a round of doxorubicin chemo today with the hopes of slowing things down. I also have made notes of everyone else's experiences and will talk to our vet more about what to do from here….

Now that my initial shock is over we are moving back into our daily routine. Levi had his Chemo last night and I thought for sure he would be exhausted today especially because we ran 4.5 miles yesterday morning. Anyway, just wanted to share-Koa and I tried to sneak out the door without Levi for a run. Levi totally caught us in the act and barked in my face and hopped up and down (this is his sign that he can barely contain his excitment to go running). So, off I went with both of them. Apparently the chemo doesn't bother him in the least. Let's hope it actually does something to those dang mets.

I'm glad Levi is feeling good enough to go running :-)  Keep it up, Levi!

This sucks!  I hate cancer.  I can only echo what everyone else is telling you.  There will be time later to grieve, right now don't miss what you have with Levi because of the pain of knowing what is down the road.  Enjoy and love him now, he will need to feel that positive from you.

There is a song on the radio station that I have been listening to that helps me get the anger out, when I am not around my boy.  It is by the Foo Fighters, I think it is called "one of these days".  I end up driving along screaming out the lyrics at the top of my lungs and sometimes get teary eyed.   The lyrics don't match our case exactly but when people tell me that I shouldn't struggle so hard to pay the bills to save Sammy, you can just rescue another dog… blah blah, it matches my mood.  I HATE CANCER.  I feel like cancer is breaking my heart, stealing my dog away.

This is always a great place to vent, with good advice.   So many of us know how it feels.  I wish I could take away cancer, make it go away, save all of our loved ones.  But, since I can't, I can recommend good ways of venting, of putting your grief out there for some help.

I really understand your anger. We got zapped the other way. After 6 chemo treatments and a year free from mets, we got blindsided with a diagnosis of osteosarcoma in the other front leg. While my heart was breaking, my mind was screaming, "No fair, no fair!" I really, really hate cancer.

Keep your chin up. I suspect that Levi will fight with all his might, and he needs his mom alongside. Time may be the enemy, but every moment with your baby is precious!
