Well, the final decision has been made for us, we are not able to go thru with the surgery as planned.  We took Brandy in today, and in her pre-surgical screening, the doctor found 2 tumors in her lungs and one growing on one of her ribs.  Sadly, there is nothing more that can be done for her.  Putting her thru any more trauma is completely unnecessary at this stage.  Unfortunantly, because progression of these new tumors came on so quickly, her vet believes she has 60-90 days.  But does anyone really know how long they have?  On her original tumor, the doctor and specialist said a maximum of 4-6 months was all we could hope for.  On August 18th, Brandy will have been kicking cancer's butt for 1 year and 3 months.  It is such a bummer that we cannot do anything more for her.  The vet said to watch for any caughing or difficulty breathing and to bring her in immediately if anything should change.  Brandy will continue to enjoy her days napping, swimming and enjoying mai-tai's and treats.  We are still going thru with her personalized wheel chair .  She can have fun being more mobile for as long as possible and we can keep as much pressure off that bad leg.  She is also using her Orthopet's leg brace on the leg with the tumor for added stability while walking.  We ordered Artemisinin for her and we will let you all know how this new regimine goes.  If anyone has any other information for us, we would appreciate it.  We do not know if there is anything else to make her more comfortable while dealing with lung MET's.  We will keep you all posted on how she is doing

Thank you again for all of your love and support,

Teresa, Brandy and the family
