This is another story, besides Duffy's, of a Golden who recovered completely from lymphoma. It gives me hope that Blaze will be the third one, that we know about, to regain his health.
Good thoughts still going your way, for Blaze, you and your friends.

We love you Blaze!!! I hope by tomorrow you'll be feeling up to eating, sweetheart. You will be in my special prayers tonight.

Prayers still on the way for Blaze from me too. Stay strong sweetheart!

Still sending prayers and positive thoughts for Blaze. Hoping that he has begun eating today.

hugs
Chris

Praying for miracles. They happen.

Is he any better today???:confused:

Dixie, I have been wondering how Blaze is doing, is he eating yet? Of course prayers go to that sweet pup and his family.
Jackie, Perry and Miss Daisy

He is still not eating. :( :( I took over some food mushed up real good for him and we forced about one cup down him but he fought us. He didn't want to eat. :( I don't know how long after they start the chemo it should take before they start eating again but I hope it is soon. He has lost over 20 pounds so far and is nothing but skin and bones. His eyes are even sunken in his head now. It is very sad to see. :( :(

I appreciate all the continued prayers for this beautiful boy. He is only 5 years old and wants to play like normal but we are afraid his bones are weak and may break easily so he is just taken on short walks.

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear he doesn't want to eat yet, I was hoping to hear better news:( Please tell them we send our love & prayers that this sweet young boy of theirs will soon start feeling better from the treatments. It just breaks my heart to hear this:(

He might just need a bit more time for the chemo to kick in. It breaks my heart to think of this beautiful, youthful boy in such distress. I will continue to think positive thoughts and send him my love and prayers. Hang in there Blaze. You have so many people pulling for you, sweetheart.

I was hoping that Blaze would be eating by now. Continuing prayers for the dear boy!

For once, I don't know what to say. It feels like my heart is going to break. Hopefully the chemo will kick in. I'm praying as hard as I can for sweet Blaze, Kathi and Bob. I hope Blaze isn't in too much pain. Poor Sweetheart. :(

Blaze will be going for his third chemo treatment today. Unfortunately he still has not started eating and is still losing. The main question for the oncologist today is when should he start eating? :(

:(I sure hope he starts eating soon, he has to be so thin now. It just breaks my heart.:(

Oh Candy,

I just saw this thread...I had no idea...I remember what happened with Sweet Jazz....

You have our Prayers,Dear Blaze.......
Please start eating soon...and put on some lbs!!!!!!!!
All our Love,
Paws crossed!!!

My heart is breaking for Blaze. I've been praying for him and will continue even harder. Dear Blaze, please start eating....

Are they force feeding or giving him IVs? Oh this is so difficult. I know how frustrating it is to get them to eat and when they refuse, it is heartbreaking. Is there some little thing that they can get him to eat? How about that tube hi calorie food (can't remember the name)?

Blaze, please eat...

Yes he is getting that. No IV's though and when they force feed he throws it back up. He also has diarhea still too. He has lost over 20 pounds now. It is very sad.

awww...that's terrible! :(
I'll definately pray for poor Blaze

Oh this is just terrible for poor Blaze and his family and extended family, too. :( :(

Dixie,

Do you know how many chemo treatments Blaze will have
to take.Maybe they can stop for awhile after this third one &
let him regain his appetite.? Poor guy will stay in my prayers
for a full recovery. It's so hard to see them so ill.:(

Has Kathi joined the Canine Cancer bb http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CanineCancer/

They have so much info and insight on chemo and eating. They can tell her about how long before their dogs ate and what to expect. Check with them. They are a wealth of support and info.

I will pass the link along to her Sue. Thanks!

My heart is breaking. Hang in there Blaze, you can do it! :( You have so many unseen friends rooting for you and Kathi and Bob! We love you and are praying that you start to eat.! Always in our thoughts..Karen & Cody

I was so sad to hear of this diagnosis. Saying prayers here that chemo works for Blaze.

Just wanted to share the good news.... Blaze has finally started to eat again just today! He ate 1/2 pound of turkey breast. He goes for his fourth round of chemo tomorrow. Hopefully this is the turning point!! :D

That's good news. Hope that it will continue to improve. Thoughts and prayers.

YAY!!!!!!! BLAZE!!!!

Woohoo!!! So glad to hear you ate something today. I hope that this is the beginning of your feeling better and for the chemo to work a miracle!!!! Thanks for the update, Candy. I was afraid to ask.

What great news!!!!!!!

Keep on eating precious boy!

Great news!!!
Good boy Blaze--keep eating and getting stronger every day!!!

I'm so glad to hear this, keep eating boy, get you strength back!!

This is wonderful news, Candy!!! We are still praying for his complete recovery!! :)

Great news!:D :) :)

Prayers continuing.
Chris

Half a pound of turkey breast!!! That is indeed good news. Keep at it Blaze, and with the vet's help and our prayers we hope you'll be in good health very soon. Many gentle hugs to you, sweet boy.

Oh, what great, great news!!!!:):) Could it be our Blaze is turning the corner??? Prayers and positive thoughts continue. Keep up the great work, brave, beautiful Blaze!!

Good news that Blaze is eating indeed! Prayers still coming that he is on the way to complete recovery. You go Blaze!

Me and my herd are all pulling for Blaze!

Oh Candy, so glad to hear this news... We'll continue to pray for this boy.. My heart still breaks for Cody, and it's such a bittersweet feeling to know that Blaze is improving... We'll continue to pray for you Blaze ... We love you sweetheart ....

Soooo glad to hear the news. You can do it Blaze! We are sending prayers to you for a complete recovery.:D

PS: 1/2 lb of turkey breast???? Who says you are spoiled???

Funny (not) Candy, when I posted my condolences and prayers for Blaze, I thought, "my God, the pain they must be going through!". Little did I know that less than a week later, I'd really felt the pain of it all. I hope and pray that the chemo helps Blaze. I was just wishing I had the power of the guy in Green Mile, that I could touch the area and transfer and dissolve the pain and distress. Hmm..turkey breast..I'll have to remember that.
