Sorry It's been awhile since I've posted. Wanted to update everyone with our first six weeks since the diagnosis. Asia has been doing very well since surgery. Within 2 weeks since surgery, she was fully adapted with three legs and and all her energy back, She's enjoying the snow, climbing and digging just like before. She jumps in the car all by herself and stairs are not an issue. She wants no pity!
Since she recovered surgery so well, we wanted to get her to an oncologist to get some further xrays done and discuss chemo options. The day after she got her staples out, we got took her in and decided to proceed with the chemo treatments. She has gone through 2 of 4 treatments (carboplatin). She really showed off for the doctors there, practically pulling them down the hall. Her lungs are clear which was REALLY good news. The first treatment had no noticeable side effects. Her second treatment was just this last week Wednesday, and she's been a little groggy since, but improving everyday. We were told it's very common for the second treatment to take more of a toll than the first. I just snuggle with her and try to explain that it's the medicine working.
It's been just amazing watching her be the goofy strong girl she's always been. We're so happy we made the decision we did.
I've taken lots of photos of her, but am having trouble figuring out how to post them... any tips???

Here are detailed instructions for adding photos to forum posts.
Ins short, images must be hosted online somewhere to put them in your forum post. View the images, right click to copy its location and paste that in the Image URL field when using the Insert Image button in the visual editor. (If you're on a mobile device, just past the image URL since you will not have the edit buttons.)
If you do not share photos online somewhere, upload them to your blog and share them in a post there or use the image file link from your Media Library. For help getting started with your blog, review the Help videos. Feel free to post in the tech support forum for more help or PM us to schedule a time in the chat room to walk you through this.
Hope that helps!
PS: We reset your avatar for you. The black box usually indicates an invalid image file or upload problem. A JPEG image larger than 150x150 but smaller than 500KB is recommended.
