I'm so sorry that to hear about Zeke – especially after going through major surgery like this only to find lung mets soon after.  My heart goes out to you.  Like everyone has said, many dogs can live very long with lung mets.  We just discovered lung mets with Mackenzie about 6 weeks ago and it was devastating to hear this news so I know how traumatic this can be.  

 In the  x-rays your doctors did, you might want to ask them to do a comparison and also look at the sizes and determine how many there are (or maybe they already told you this? In Mackenzie's case, she has 3 – 4 small nodules).   And you might want to have a radiologist look at these too.  For treatment, Mackenzie's on the metronomic therapy (cytaxin) which is a low dose chemo with very little side effects combined with another chemo called palladia.  Both have been shown to be pretty responsive to slowing down the growth of cancer.   She recently had a check up and they compared the chest x-rays from last month to this month – 2 out of the 3 nodules showed no increase in size and 1 nodule actually shrunk in size by half.  So there is hope and treatment plans out there that might help you.    My piece of advice would be to gather all the facts on how aggressive these lung mets are right now and then go from there.

I really wish the best for you and Zeke. Keeping our paws crossed for Zeke! 

Man are we lucky to have someone like Pam around or what.

I'm really glad that Zeke has improved over the past couple of days. I know how very stressful it must be for you and your family right now. Remember we're holding on to hope for Zeke as well. I got a soft spot for the big guys. Zeke is such a sweet looking boy.

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you,
