Wow, I can't believe that 7 months has gone so fast. Seven months ago I was sitting and trying to work without being too worried. Ha for those of you who don't know me thats like trying not to breathe. I am just totally amazed at how well Sassy has done and how far we have come in this amount of time.
We are still beating down those mets acting like we don't have them. Amazing. I thought when we got that diagnosis I would not have her here. But she proved ME wrong. I hope she continues on this path for a long long time. I try to stay positive. We aren't going to let those stupid things rob of us of anytime enjoying each other.
Will post more in a blog update. Thanks to the Tripawd community, Jim, Rene, Spirit Jerry & Wyatt for giving us this wonderful place.
Hugs
Michelle & Sassy

Happy, happy 7 month Ampuversary!!! You could post that portrait all the time, and we would never get tired of her beautiful face:) Love todays pic too--Sassy is kicking those mets far, far away. So happy to celebrate with you!
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
