Thanks again, I'm going to say it without this wonderful sight, I don't think I have any other place to go to ask, talk, scream and cry to. Not like here for sure. There are always words of encouragement, suggestions and sharing of own experiences that make a world of difference. I cannot thank you all enough.
We are going to another specialist in NJ to have a second and look into other options for Snoop. I will update once we find out what else we can to to get this boy in a positive direction.
With love,
Esther and her Snoop

Deb! Love your idea of Snoop reading "pee mail" PERFECT!!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Hi Esther
I can only echo all the wonderful advice given already. I'm glad you're going to another specialist (I'm in NJ also) to have another opinion. Please keep us updated-thinking of you and Snoop and sending you huge hugs.
Take care,
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
I know I am a day late here, but I wanted to let you know that I am sending positive thoughts to you and snoop. We all know what it is like to worry and stress about our beloved furbabies. I am still struggling with guilt after Molly's accident. It's getting closer to a month since she got hit and we are still in recovery. There are bumps in the road, and all we can do is love them and nurture them as much as we can.
Hang in there!
Esther,
I am reading this and continue to cry. I too am at a crossroads. Jake is 1 month out s/p amp was doing great and now mast cells in a large ? hematoma in his groin area, same site as amp. I believe and have told my dog loving friends long ago that Jake and I had the conversation and he promised that he would tell me when he was done. Now that we are at that place AGAIN I am too emotional to ask the question. Our goal is quality of life and I am not sure that mentally blunting due to meds is quality. Jake too is eating drinking peeing and pooping but...when is enough enough. I am going to work up the courage to have a heart to heart with him again hopefully today. Expecting a follow up call from the surgeon who wanted to personally speak to the pathologist about the poorly differentiated mast cells found on cytology. I am here and feel your pain.
Love and hugs to all.
Laurie
