Good morning everyone! I got to meet another really nice Doctor yesterday and she has worked out chemo treatments for me. First off I must tell you my Mom got the name of the cancer wrong it is actually soft tissue sarcoma-histiocytic. I will be one of the lucky ones and get to receive my chemo at home by way of a pill called Lomustine. Sounds pretty interesting cuz my pawrents are going to have to wear pretty blue gloves to give it to me and they have to be really careful that the pill does not get wet and that I swallow it right away. So the Doctor suggested that they maybe put it in some Ravioli and another have another piece waiting for me behind the pill so I swallow right away. Hmmm maybe I can trick them and get three pieces if I'm lucky.
I'm still doing really good they were impressed on how well I hop for just having my surgery a week ago. It was Golden Day at the clinic and I got to meet a lot of nice dogs..especially Shadow who had the same cancer on his back and has been taking the same drug for 2.5 months now and was looking really good.
So I'm keeping my paws crossed and hoping for good results I know that with the love of my pawrents and my good will that I am going to beat the odds!
Talk to you all soon!

Well I started my chemo this morning so hopefully everything will go ok. My Mom gave the pill to me in Perogies instead of Ravioli she thought I might like them better. ( I think it is because she likes them better to be honest). Yesterday I surprised everyone by coming down two stairs without any help and today I climbed right up on my Dad's knee to watch TV with him. Next to swimming this is my most favorite thing in the world.
My Mom is off to Mexico on Sunday for a week she's feeling a bit guilty cuz she had the trip planned before I got sick. I hope she doesn't worry too much about me cuz I'll be with my Dad and he takes great care of me so I know I will be just fine. When she comes home I'm hoping that I can surprise her by sleeping upstairs in our real bedroom and bounce down the stairs to greet her!
Thanks to everyone that is giving us so much support it really is helping me a lot to keep up the good work.
I'll get my Mom to give you an update as soon as she is back. I can't get my Dad to do it cuz he only knows how to find ebay woof woof!
Love, Tehya

My Mom came home late Sunday and boy did we have a surprise waiting for her. My Dad took me to the groomer and had me shaved so that my hair would grow back even. So now I look like a Golden Lab (that's ok though cuz they are really cute too). I had a good week with my Dad he spoiled me pretty good with letting me up on his lap all the time.
I'm not having any reaction to the chemo pills (maybe the perogies are helping with that). I've been outside in the yard playing and lying in the sun. I had all of my stitches removed but my Dr. said I still have to wait one more week before I can tackle the stairs going up to the main living area in the house. Boy we will all be excited when that happens I really miss my bedroom!
Yesterday I went for blood work and will get the results on that later today but Dr. Ford was really impressed with my activity level, my heart, temp etc. She said that she couldn't see any red flags right now so all and all it was a great visit.
I hope that you have all had a great week since I last got to write on my blog and I am looking forward to reading up on all of your progress.
Love from Tehya and her Mom.

Hi everyone, I will post some pictures soon I promise just charging the camera. Tazzie the chemo pills are Lomustine and I get one a day hidden in the perogie...Her bloodwork will be checked every two weeks and monthly and ultra sound to see if there are any changes. First bloodwork results will come in later today!
