Hello, friends! Winnie has had an awesome year and we're really doing well. I finally took the plunge to get a few chest x-rays for Winnie (we had delayed...another story) and...well...she has a lung tumor. I don't know much yet. We see the oncologist on Monday. But, if there are any synovial cell sarcoma friends out there, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I want the rest of Winnie's life (she's 12 and 1/2) to be pain free no matter the time she has left. So, I am trying to understand how I can keep her the most comfortable and happy. Please give a shout if you have any thoughts. And thanks! Love, Alison and Winnie

Alison,

We are so very sorry to hear this news. I remember the feeling of being told Jerry had mets and it really knocks you over, it feels like starting over. Hold on though, I have something to tell you:

Winnie doesn't know about the met! She could care less what those x-rays said, she just wants to keep having a good life with you!

Sounds like things are otherwise good with her health right? If so, that's reason right there to celebrate! Lung mets can be managed for a long time. In our case we got more time than we imagined and every day was icing on the cake.

I'm not sure if synovial cell sarcoma metastasis is different from other types of mets like the osteosarcoma ones we dealt with, but here is a post that may help you look at management options:

Metronomic Therapy for Canine Osteosarcoma Metastasis

Also, here's a little something to make you smile: a while back, one of our members, Abby, was also fighting lung mets (or "mints" as she called them). Abby named her two mints "Boris" and "Natasha". Our long-time member and moderator Karen came up with this adorable video of socking it to Boris and Natasha while they scheemed evil plans inside of Abby's lungs. Enjoy!

Ha! Just found your post, Jerry. Thanks. It definitely cheered me up. And you're right. Winnie is doing great and there's no need to drag her down with my worries! Thanks so very very much. Because of this, we're going to the park now! Have a great day!
