Hi All, I just haven't had the heart to write since we got the news about the new bone cancer in Zip but as the days have passed I am counting my blessings. When I saw Zip after I got home, I could tell no difference in her except she seemed livelier. The oncologist told my daughter that Zip was not ready to go yet and I truly agree. She is on a new chemo that does not make her sick like the last one did and maybe it will slow things down. My daughter says she will not let Zip suffer at all but also doesn't want her to go one second before she needs to go. Her appetite is good, her energy level for a girl of her age is good, her blood work came back fine so we are trying to be dog-like and live in the moment. Took a friend with a dobie over to Texas A&M  because the dog was in a research project that was ending and found at least three mets in his lungs and ultrasound showed nothing in the abdomen so the cancer is probably in the pelvis or a host of other places. This friend's husband just died at Christmas and this was really his dog so this is a double whammy for her. I told her about this group if she decides she needs some support and advice. I, like all of you ,HATE cancer  and the holes it tears in our hearts.

Thanks for being here for us.
