Back in October, we got the surprising news that Percy's mets were no longer visible on his xrays! This was after several months in which his mets slowly increased in size and number. Because it seemed rare to hear of mets disappearing — I had only read of one case here — I was secretly afraid that there might have been a mistake. But we just had another check up yesterday and his xrays are still clear!!

That is amazing news about Percy! Congratulations!

Amazing, amazing, amazing,
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
