Just wanted to share this great news. On Monday Jane took Peyton to the vet after we found a pink lump near her shoulder. The vet did a FNA on it, and it has come back benign! We are so relieved and thankful!
Wishing all of our Tripawd family a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!

Cathy, I am so glad to hear that. I've thought about you since you posted about the lump in someone else's forum, but I figured you would let us know once you heard something. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

Oh this is great news! We've been wondering too, thank you for letting us know. It really brings so much relief to take that small, relatively inexpensive step of aspirating those lumps and bumps. Best Christmas Present Ever! Enjoy your day!!!!

Sweet Silly Sylvie, the Old English Sheepdog
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma 11/04/2010 at almost 7 years of age * Left hind leg amputated 11/09/2010 * Chemo on 12/10, 12/17, 01/10, 01/31
Sweet Sylvie's earthly journey ended on Nov. 3, 2011, one day short of a year since her diagnosis and 6 days short of her one-year ampuversary. Her family celebrates her life as a sheepdog – ever the puppy, ever silly, ever sweet – and are grateful for our 7 years together.
Yea!!!
Benign is becoming one of my favorite words.
Happy Christmas!

Hooray! Extra Christmas cookies for everypawdy to celebrate!
Merry Christmas!
Jackie, 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. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
