Killian's Surgery

[dragondawg]

can be associated with many different types of soft tissue cancers such as cutaneous fibrosarcoma, haemangiopericytoma or schwannoma.

Surgery with clean margins is usually the treatment for these cancers. If pathology reports the margins were not clean and it's something like haemangiopericytoma, then follow up local radiation is usually the best course of treatment.

Not all front line Chemo drugs are toxic to the liver.

I can't even recount how many times Killian has persevered and prevailed in the face of adversity over the last several years. He is truly the WONDER DOG and a fighter in the best sense of that word. Keep the faith, Sue, this guy is going to pull though once again.

Again, thank you Everyone for your prayers.

Rachel, I was just thinking today of all the medical conditions Killian has suffered through. It is unbelievable. The thread running through all of it, though, except for liver disease, is autoimmune disease, I think.

Here's a list of what I can even remember: (and these are just the major ones, I won't list the little things like anal gland problems...etc. LOL)

Strange rash, hair loss, emaciated, etc. when first adopted (probably immune system problem started)
Eosinophyllic gingivitis (rare in dogs, usually seen in cats
)
Constant tooth problems resulting in the loss of 8 teeth
Lip-fold pyoderma
A few benign cysts
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Liver Disease (MVD, Acquired Multiple Liver Shunts, Small liver, High blood pressure in the liver)
And now whatever this tumor is.......

I really can't believe how much he has endured and he still keeps on loving..........

Sweet, brave Killian, Carina and I are sending you many hugs with our best wishes that, once more, you'll recover your health and that this last visit to the white coat ends up being only a scare.
Sue, prayers are on their way for you and Killie.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Prayers on the way from me too for you both. Killian WE'VE always known you are such a good boy and you just keep proving us right. Stay strong sweetie.

[dukedogsmom]

I know how worried you must be. I would be sick with worry. I think he knew you were trying to help him which is why he behaved so well. I hope the results aren't bad. Let us know how he's doing soon.

Poor sweet pumpkin. It's sure going to be a long 5 days. Prayers always for Killi, Sue, and Shiloh too, his loving sister. {hugs]

[lizbud]

Sue,

Just wondering how Killian is doing today. Is he getting around
ok? Hope he's feeling and acting pretty much normal. I think of
him & Shiloh a lot lately & wonder if Shiloh acts any different
around Killian. Prayers continue for a good report from the Vet.

Oh Sue, I just came in to visit a little and saw your post. Poor big feller, he has gone through so much, he deserves a break now.
Lots of prayers going to Killian that the tests come back negative and he will be o.k.. What a brave boy he is, hugs and kisses to him.
Jackie, Perry and Miss Daisy
