Raven's cancer *Final recheck, pg 38 (post 568)*

[Daisy and Delilah]

Just checking in again Jess. How is that girl doing? Best wishes for the next re-check. Thoughts and prayers still going out to you all :)

[dukedogsmom]

Good luck today! I hope to hear more good news when I wake up. Maybe then you can finally relax. Fingers and paws crossed.

[Ginger's Mom]

Thinking about you this morning. Prayers sent and paws crossed.

[K9soul]

Dr. Nielson said, "so far that is still looking good"! He feels comfortable enough with it that we can go to every-other-week checkups now! The sutures may take a while yet before they are gone, he said it can take months.

Her next check is two weeks from today.

I have a video of her playing.. it seems to work best with the newest version of Windows Media player so I hope it will work! She was playing in the kiddie pool, and Tommy was trying to figure out what to do about this young hellion usurping his pool :D.

And yesterday after playing more in the pool (she likes to stick her whole face in the water)

Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers everyone, I feel more strongly every day that she has been cured :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

She looks wonderful!!

[Reachoutrescue]

I am so happy Raven is okay. I love the video too! She really loves that ball! She is so cute in that pool too! Thanks for sharing the video. Give a big hug for me!!

[cloverfdx]

Wonderful news Jess and Miss Raven :D. I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts. Thats one happy looking dawg ;).

[gini]

Oh Raven, such good news for you - and I know it warms every heart on Pet Talk.

You just have too much swimming and playing ahead of you to let this get you down.

Kisses on that nose!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I am so happy to hear this latest update, Jess!! Not only is it wonderful that this beautiful girl has been cured, in a way, it has healed some things for you too. You know what I mean. What a blessing that you adopted this girl and the events that have taken place are able to give you enough reassurance to move on with greater strength than you have been able to experience for awhile. The Lord works in mysterious ways :)
{{{{{HUGS}}}}} Love you all alot...........T, D & D :)

[cassiesmom]

*smooch for excellently precious Raven
*smooch *smooch for the T's
Thank you so much for the good news, I really needed something good to hang on today!

[chocolatepuppy]

Thank God. I am so happy to see Raven is still doing ok. I will continue to pray for her. The video is so cute! I take it Tasha doesn't like water? ;) I know you have to be so relieved Jessica. Raven is a tough little girl, she is going to beat this!!! :)

[K9soul]

Thank you so much everyone. Today I started reading through this thread from the beginning, just watching the story unfold and the emotionalism of it, and I'm impacted again by everyone's prayers, empathy, words of comfort and encouragement. What a beautiful group of people you all are.

No water for Tasha, except for drinking! I should have added this second one too, as it has more of Tommy boy in it :D. The neighbor was mowing so that's the noisy mower you hear. When I fill the pool Tasha is right there lapping up water out of the hose, she loves drinking it as it comes out. But she has no interest in getting into it!

http://www.mydeo.com/videorequest.asp?XID=20554&CID=96276

Tommy is just not quite sure what to make of her splishing and splashing in "his" pool ;). I think I need to get a bigger pool!

Those are words of wisdom. :)


I am just so happy to hear this latest update. Big (((hugs))) and congrats
on the wonderful check up news. Go Raven :)

[cassiesmom]

Great video! I like it when she runs off the deck and Tommy just looks after her... awww Tommy, she'll be back. *hugs all around!

[dukedogsmom]

Well, the videos are buffering too much for me to watch them right now. But I love that pic! I'm so glad things are improving and Raven is doing so well. That makes us all so very happy and I know it makes you feel better. I'm so glad. This will be a special Mother's Day for you. Hugs to you all. I think about you often.

[Kfamr]

Jess, she looks so great! I think we're looking pretty darn good!

Love that girl so much. I am not on PT as much since we are away but the both of you (and the T's) are still in my heart. :)

[Kalei]

Raven looks so good, its great to be able to watch her have fun in the little pool:D I'm so glad that Raven's cancer is not coming back, still more prayers that it will keep staying away.

[lv4dogs]

Thats great news! She sure looks like she has the spirits to beat this! Yous are in my thoughts daily.

[ChrisH]

Thanks for the update(s) Jess. I'm so happy to see how well she is doing. :D

Just want to say that although I haven't actually replied in a while I haven't forgotten your beautiful girl. I've been checking in to see how she is getting along and keeping her in my prayers.

p.s. can't see the videos for some reason, I suspect it's down to my sensitive anti-virus or firewall settings.

[pitc9]

YIPPEEE!! YIPPPEEEE!!
*Doing a happy happy dance!!!*

[ramanth]

Horray!!! She looks good! :D So happy to hear the checkup was good. :D

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Jess, thank you for the gorgeous picture of beautiful Raven!!! It has pride of place on my desk at work and will lift my spirits every time I look at her smiley face.

Glad I could be part of Team Raven!!!

[cassiesmom]

k9soul and Raven, I just wanted to tell you that you are on my mind. And Raven, you are on my fridge! Every time I go in the kitchen for something your happy face greets me. What a lift! I hope you will be healthy and have a very long and wonderful life!

[K9soul]

Four weeks ago from today Raven had her radical excision of her cancer with partial jawbone removal. She didn't have a recheck today (next check is May 25, next Friday), but her mouth continues to heal and there continues to be no sign of recurrence. This is the site today, the edges have become a bit sharper as the tissues have settled and the sutures more dissolved but it looks to be healing very nicely.

And as usual when I have her out waiting for the panting to get going ;) I took a few other shots.

It's looking great! so glad to see our lovely Raven safe and sound.

[gemini9961]

Oh Jess she looks beautiful. :) I do think you need a bigger pool as Tommy does look a little dismayed that his pool is being used. She looks wonderful and her excision site it healing nicely. Hugs to you all. :)

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh Raven!! You are so beautiful!! I love the first picture after the mouth shot. :D :D I am so glad to see everything is healing up nicely and the nasty stuff is staying away. Woo Hoo!!!

Raven is such a beauty! Nice pics and I love the collar. ;) I'm glad things are still looking good and will continue to keep Raven in my prayers. :)

Don't mind at all! Love the contrast and saturation of that photo too. I will attach a bigger size of it :)

Thanks for the compliments! She's my beautiful black pearl :D

[luvofallhorses]

She looks great! :D I love her collar. where did you get it? :)

[K9soul]

She looks great! :D I love her collar. where did you get it? :)

I ordered that one from Drs. Foster & Smith but it's a Lupine collar. I like the 1" ones because she has such a slender graceful neck. Here are the Lupine designs.

http://lupinepet.com/dog/ucs_dog.php

[ramanth]

What stunning photos! She's looking great Jess. :D

[Giselle]

Beautiful in every way! I'm so glad to see she's healing so well! :)

[Grace]

Stunning is most certainly the best description!! Thanks so much for posting these today.

[dukedogsmom]

Grace, I was going to use the same word, stunning! Jess, that one needs to be made into an 8X10 and put in a special place. I'm so happy to see her doing so well! Such a happy Friday!! :D I've saved that one.

[anna_66]

Oh Jess she's looking wonderful! If I didn't know about her surgery I'd never even notice that her mouth looks any different than any other dog:)

I love those pictures, that's one special girl you've got there!!!

[pitc9]

*squeeeeals*
Great news!!
Wow, the last picture is Breathtaking!! WOW she's beautiful! :eek:
Please pass smooches to your 3 from me!

[kallisto4529]

I am so glad to see her looking even more beautiful then before, if that is possible!!!! her mouth seems to be healing up great, it looks wonderful. i agree with everyone the one of her sitting there looking straight at you is just the most beautiful pic, that is definetly one to put in a frame somewhere.

[Daisy and Delilah]

She looks great Jess!! I think she's out of the woods for sure. Please give her some more kisses from me and some for the T's as always as well. I'm thrilled for you all!!! :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

That's got my working week off to the best possible start!! :D

[cassiesmom]

Please pass smooches to your 3 from me!

And also from me! I was thinking of you all this morning because Raven's photo is still smack in the center of my refrigerator :) and I went in there for a bagel.

[My Peanuts]

Everything looks great Jess. I'm so glad Raven is doing well.

Thanks so much for the 'thank you' Raven picture. It's on my refrigerator. :)

[Kfamr]

She is just beautiful, Jess.
I loved her collar so much I finally got it for Kiara before our trip. Not sure if I told you already, but it looking so good on Raven is what finally made me buy it. It's been favorite of mine from Lupine for a while.


She is so stunning... it seems she has grown so much already. One of these days I need to meet her, and of course the T's and you.

[sandragonfly]

just caught up - :D :D :D.

:) beautiful shinny raven I see. she's so happy with you.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Gosh, is Raven ever gorgeous! She looks soo good!

I feel terribly bad that I have not been able to keep up with this thread, I am so sorry! :o I have been praying for Raven, though!

[finn's mom]

I'm glad she's still doing so well. She's looking so beautiful. what a lady she's growing up to be.

[cassiesmom]

Fingers and paws crossed for May 25th visit... prayer said, candle lit (http://www.gratefulness.org under group: raven)

[chocolatepuppy]

Raven and Jessica, both in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

[K9soul]

Raven had another wonderful checkup today. It is really looking more and more thoroughly healed, Dr. Nielson was very happy with it. He wants to see her back in a month now (June 22), to ensure things are still going well. He said he wants to keep seeing her until it looks completely and totally normal. The sutures are mostly dissolved now, can't even really see them.

I spent some of the visit talking about a behavioral issue. She has always been a bit anxious being left but after her last surgery she got drastically worse. She now has severe separation anxiety, she will howl and cry and panic, drool all over herself and try to get out of her crate or the room if I block her in my room. She actually did manage to get out of my room last time I went to get groceries and I could hear her barking and crying when I pulled into the garage.

I explained to him that my comings and goings are low-key, I don't make a fuss when I leave, I don't make a fuss when I get back. I explained how this issue became severe since her last surgery. I had suspected it had a lot to do with my extreme anxiety during the time when her life hung in the balance. He said that week, I brought her in Monday for the consultation and had to leave her, and then Friday brought her in for the surgery and had to leave her. Both times my emotions were very extreme, understandably so, since it was a life and death situation, but she picked up on that, and sensing that and then having me leave traumatized her. I told him since March when I found this I had been in a heightened state of anxiety and I know that she probably picked up on that as well. He seemed very understanding and said that I am probably only just beginning to 'relax' about all of this. After all, he said, he has seen more not make it from malignant oral cancers than ones who do, and he said even his nerves were on edge about it.

I got a month's supply of Clomipramine, a tricyclic anti-anxiety medication for dogs. He says it has been shown to help a lot along with the desensitizing techniques that I am already working on. It's not a permanent thing, just as an aid while I am working on desensitizing. It is not a tranquilizer, must be given every day like a human antidepressant. I'm hoping that will help her. It makes it very difficult for me to get out and do much when I know she is at home panicking and freaking out. She has never been destructive but I will get home and her chest will be covered in drool, she's huffing and her heart racing. Hopefully, we can get her through this and she will be able to relax and enjoy a chew toy or bully stick while I'm away.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/k9soul/Tommy%20Tasha%20Raven/raven1-8.jpg

Thank you all so much again for all your thoughts and prayers. We love you!

[pitc9]

Oh Raven... you are so beautiful!
I'm so happy you've had another great check up!
I hope the pills help you calm down. Your fears/anxiety are understandable after what you and your mom have gone through. You are a brave fighter little girl! (...LES) We're all proud of you and love you like you are our own!

{{hugs}} to you sweetie, the T's and mom as well!

[lizbud]

Great news again on Raven's checkup. :) She looks radiant in her picture.
I can understand her maybe picking up on your nervousness & anxiety.
Hope the new pills can help calm Raven when she's home alone.Where do
Tommy & Tasha stay when you're gone? Does being around them help her
at all? With time, hopefully this can be overcome.

[cassiesmom]

Sweet Raven, I'm so glad you had a good post-surgical report. You look radiant in your photo. I hope the clomipramine works for your anxiety. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to be separated from mom. She loves you so much and we all do too. HUG for you and for the T's and mom too. I hope that you will all be able to spend some time together the next few days.

[K9soul]

Where do Tommy & Tasha stay when you're gone? Does being around them help her at all? With time, hopefully this can be overcome.

They can have run of the house but I have generally been gating them in the room with her in hopes it would help, however it doesn't seem to make any difference. Her fear/anxiety seems to involve me. Now she is not a clingy pup, if I'm home and she is running the house she is often off in another room or area of the house and I'm chasing her down to make sure she's not getting into something :p. But being closed off somewhere with me out of sight seems to trigger her fear of being left. Hopefully the meds will help along with working with her. I've been feeding her gated in my room away from me and the T's. She eats fine and has been relaxed with that so I'm doing that every day to give her a good experience with being confined with me out of sight.

I had read about a D.A.P. diffuser and collars too, and may try that as well. http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/behavior/a/dogbehaviorprob.htm

[chocolatepuppy]

It's so good to hear Ravens checkup went well! :D I hope the pills and time will help with her anxiety.

[dukedogsmom]

Another stunning pic! She's just glowing with happiness. I'm so glad everything is progressing nicely.

And, I feel I'm sort of an expert on separation anxiety now after all I've been through with Dasher. Pm me and I'll tell you how I handle it. He's not been on any meds in months and he's totally changed now. He used to get between my legs while I was putting on my shoes. Now, he just lays on my bed. Things will get better. Your anxiety was a perfectly normal reaction to all of this.

[Kfamr]

That smile of her just brightens anyone's day, doesn't it?

A lot of shelter dogs have S.A.... usually with time it goes away. Atleast it did with Simba and Nala. They couldn't care less if they are left at home. :p

[kallisto4529]

Raven God Bless You, he sure answered alot of prayers that is for sure. You look more and more beautiful, such a wonderful smile, it just melts my heart!!!! Try not to worry to much about the anxiety, whether shelter dog or not has nothing to do with it, its from the trauma she went through, she will come out of it, with the love and the way you work with her, she will go back to normal once she knows everything is really okay.
Give her a very big hug. :D

[Kalei]

Raven is looking so great! I am so glad that her check ups are going so well, prayers truely do work.:)

[ramanth]

Raven is looking wonderful!! I hope she can overcome her seperation anxiety soon. *HUGS*

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Oh Raven - you beautiful, happy, smiling, kissy dog you!!!

I guess its only natural for you to be a bit anxious after all you've been through sweetheart.

When I leave my two I set them "tasks" like hiding treats for them to find - that way me leaving them turns into a fun thing and most of the time they don't even notice I've gone :D I also leave a radio on.

[dragondawg]

Glad to hear the surgery apparently got the nasty cells out.

If leaving for a few hours, I give mine rawhide chips to munch on. Usually their stomachs over rule their separation anxieties. For the most part all I have to say is "pen-pen" to mine, and they run into their pen- waiting for their treats. ;)

You could try something similar to car training for the separation anxiety. Pretend that you are leaving. Exit out of the house for 20 seconds and then come back in and let puppy out of the kennel. Repeat a couple times a day. Then extend the length of departure to 1 min, 5 mins etc. If nothing else you get to visit the neighbors a lot. :D

[jennielynn1970]

How is Ms. Raven these days?? I keep looking for pics and updates. She's such a gorgeous girl!

[Kfamr]

Really, how are things lately? She sure looks like she's doing wonderful in her pictures. :)

[cassiesmom]

Hi, Raven, Tasha and Tommy and I hope you are having lots of good times this June :)

[K9soul]

Sorry I have not updated in awhile! Raven has been doing wonderfully, and she had her final recheck yesterday. She's been given the official all clear.. no more rechecks scheduled. Of course by now I felt we were going to be just fine, but it was another milestone to get the official word from Dr. Nielson. He hugged her and told her she was such a good baby and told her he loved her. She loves him too, gave him all kinds of kisses and wags :). I made a thread with some pictures of her I took this morning here:

Thank you all again, so very very much. You were all right along with me as we went through this roller coaster of fear and hope. I will always remember.

[lizbud]

There's that pretty girl. :) Go Raven. :D

[Alysser]

Thank god Raven is OK! she's so gorgeous! :)

[slick]

I'm so glad that Raven has come through this with flying colours. Of course, why wouldn't she with all those PT prayers flying all over the world. Please plant a big kiss on her forehead from me....from one cancer survivor to another!!! :)
Hey Rav, can I borrow your T-shirt?????? ;)

[gini]

How could it be, that a woman you have never met, don't know too well, has a beautiful black lab, that you also have never met - jumps right into your heart and mind.

I am thrilled that the news is so great! Raven - you go girl - get those tennis balls and let me throw some for you.

You are such a beautiful girl.

[cyber-sibes]

:D :D :D :D
That smile of hers is contagious! That collar is so pretty on her.
I'm so happy for you & Raven, what a wonderful outcome to a long and uncertain trial. She's a real inspiration! (I've been thinking about you a lot while we figure out what's going on with Sherman. I keep thinking "No matter what it is, we'll be alright, too)
May God bless you both with many many many years of happiness and health. And, Lord willing, we'll be able to enjoy her on PT right along with you.

[Cincy'sMom]

What great news!!! Congratulations, Raven!!!

[ramanth]

Awesome news!! Yay Raven!

[K9soul]

On April 20, 2007, Raven went in for the surgery that would be the difference between life and death for her. The next day when she came home after the surgery, the focus became watching and waiting to see if it would succeed in being curative, or if the cancer would come back. At first it was day by day, then week by week and soon month by month. Now she has reached the landmark where there is no more tracking of time, but just years of love and living ahead in the celebration of life, something she has taught me to do in a way I never did before. She is an inspiration and brings joy to my life in so many ways, and not a day goes by, a single one, when I do not remember how so many of you were along this journey with us, your prayers and support and help a miracle in itself.

I thought I would share some new photos of her here, and a simple video I made that just shows how happy she is all the time.

Now this is what brings joy to my heart - and can you just feel the love?

Happy Anniversary Raven - you are beyond beautiful!

[RobiLee]

Nothing beats a happy ending! Love that girl. She is so pretty. I loved the video and the music was so fitting. I have to say she looks beautiful in that new collar too. She is so bouncy in the video. She makes me think of Tori. I know I told you that Raven and Tori would probably have a blast together but the more I think about it and after having Sammi here it is Sammi and Raven that would have a blast. They seem to have the same kind of energy and sweetness. Please give our little miracle girl a big hug from me.

Love ya, Raven! :)

[shais_mom]

oh Jess - those pix and video just make me smile!
I'm so happy she's so happy!
big hugs to you both! :D

[Emeraldgreen]

Wow, quite a story! I just read through all 40 pages and have never seen this thread before today. Amazing and uplifting. I'm so happy for you that you have Raven with you, a year later and will have her for at least a dozen more!
My cat Tiger has been battling S.C.C. in his nasal passages since it was first discovered back in July and it has been a difficult time. But he, like Raven is a fighter and I think he will pull through too. Thank you so much for posting today because otherwise I would not have found this inspirational and wonderful thread. :)
p.s. Raven is absolutely beautiful!!

[Freedom]

What a happy event to celebrate! One year already? WAHOO!

Raven is lovely.

[cyber-sibes]

:D "I'M A BELIEVER" TOO! :D (The song was just perfect!)
Happy Anniversary Raven & family! Thanks for sharing the JOY!

[dukedogsmom]

What a wonderful entry! Brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I can't watch the video here at work because it's blocked but I'll be sure to see it on my days off. She is such a happy, beautiful dog. I'm glad she's given you so much joy.

[ChrisH]

Oh, Jess, thank you for sharing those lovely pictures and video of your beautiful girl. It is so good to see her so happy & healthy one year on.

[gemini9961]

Jess she looks wonderful. Happy anniversary Raven. :)

The pics of her are fantastic. She really is a special girl.

[Giselle]

WHOO HOO RAVEN!!

Your little miracle story has got to be one of my favorites in all my experience with dogs :)

[Karen]

Great pictures, thank you so much for sharing!

Instead of a Cancer-vivor, we can say she's a Can-fur-reviver!
