I'm sniffly and teary eyed with joy at the possibilities "palliative" radiation brings. How unscary this seems to the slim options you thought you had.
*hugs*
Miss Hoppy, these nice humans are going to make sure you get better. Then again you already knew that didn't you? It's why you're being so nice to the doctor after all. :D
Miss Hoppy our whole house says to get well............we love you and your Mom and Dad. Candles and prayers...............swift recovery little Girl
I hope that her biopsy goes well and that whatever treatment she receives will help her live a longer happy and comfortable life. I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for the update Karen, the palliative radiation option sounding very promising.
Prayers continuing for dear Miss Hoppy.
I am glad to hear that you seem to have a few options. I sure hope that it is a thymoma, and that it can at least be treated enough to give Miss Hoppy some more time with you, and the rest of us:)
This does sound quite hopeful and we are sure that your decision will be the best one for Ms. Hoppy. Who knew there was so much that could be done for a widdle bunny with some big troubles.
Wow, first of all, it sounds like Miss Hoppy is in very good hands & you
have been offered so much information. Best of luck to Miss Hoppy for
successful treatment & years of good health. :)
We have an appointment for Friday morning for the ultrasound-guided biopsy, and will let everyone know how that goes!
Thanks, everyone, for the prayers and support.
We will be keeping everything crossed for little Miss Hoppy on Friday! No biting sweetie!
Still praying.....and Miss Hoppy get well! you are worrying the Mama!
We're sending more thoughts and prayers out to Miss Hoppy and her loving family. :)
I just saw this thread now. So sorry you are going through this.
Prayers for Ms. Hoppy.
Prayers on the way for Miss Hoppy and you all on Friday. The cats have paws crossed too!
I hope Miss Hoppy will have good luck on Friday. Hey, she's already got four rabbit feet :D
And they are all firmly attached, and the back ones ready to *thump* at a moment's notice! ;)Quote:

Best wishes and prayers for tomorrow, Ms Hoppy girl! :)
Miss Hoppy and I just got home from her ultrasound/biopsy. She's still a little woozy, as they gave her a wee bit of Vallium so she wouldn't be scared of the oxygen mask. She's got a shaved patch on her side, which makes us realize how much of her size is fur!
We will not get the biopsy results until tomorrow. Dr. Mayer is afraid it might be the lymphoma, as when they were shaving her side, they found a lump, and he's worried it might be a lymph gland that's also affected. Hopefully it's not, as the thymic lymphoma is more difficult to treat than a simple thymoma. But we are not jumping to conclusions, and will see what he says when he calls tomorrow. There's a chance the labs won't be done tomorrow, but he did rush the slides to them, hoping for an answer sooner rather than later.
Thanks everyone for your prayers, when we know more, I will let you know, I promise.
We will send extra prayers out for her tests to the least of the 2! Hope she feels less woozy soon.
Miss Hoppy, Karen, and Paul, I send you prayers and good thoughts. I hope the biopsy comes back with good news.
Oh Karen, I know how worried you both must be. Immediate prayers are going out for Miss Hoppy - loved by all!!
PT Prayers for Ms Hoppy! Wishing for a treatment plan and a comfy and happy bunny! :)
Oh yeah ... "so SHE wouldn't be scared ..." :rolleyes:Quote:

We'll send some Prayers for an easy-fix diagnosis.

;)
whew.. I know you've had me check this thread few times but finally got to read all this through! ((karen))
miss hoppy, my old black floppy (chaya, now named minnie mu alison beaudelaire who's still alive as of today), my whole little ark and I are praying harder.. for the best news tomorrow hopefully. it's still great you've had those amazing years of fuzzloves - I can bet you you'll never can find anyone better than your loving mayors!....ehm thump me, servants I mean.
by the way, karen, how's your father dealing with this? I've always wished miss hoppy would let him land a finger (a love stritch) on her! everyone is in my thoughts..
Keeping Miss Hoppy in my thoughts...
Kirsten
I'm glad Miss Hoppy is back home with you now. :) Will continue with
prayers for a good outcome on her tests. ((Hugs)) for you both. :)
The doc called already! And the good news is that it is NOT the thymic lymphoma, it's just a thymoma, which means it is just that one tumor, not systemic, and is easier to treat. So that's a relief.
Thanks, Dr. Mayer! He said he was going to rush it to the lab, methinks maybe he also told them this was no ordinary bunny? ;)
So ... are we gonna **Zapppp** it?Quote:

I will keep praying for Miss Hoppy's treatment.
Glad to hear the good news!! I'll still be praying for you guys, please keep us updated.
Ashley
WOOHOO! Best possible scenario!
The Prayer Pups do it again! Thanks, Phred!
'Course, all PTrs do a whopping great support line right along with 'em!
Methinks Ms Hoppy gave him a look which communicated exactly that fact! :DQuote:

Oh, and Gina, if I hold Miss Hoppy, she'll let Dad give skritches, but right now I'm guessing she'll be avoiding being picked up for the rest of the day! He gives them by telephone sometimes. I just called Dad to update him, and he's also glad of the diagnosis.
I am glad that it is the more treatable thymoma. But did they speculate what that lump on her side could have been?
Many more prayers for a successful tratment.
Oh yeah! :::doing the happy bunny dance here::: :D
Great! Good news! Miss Hoppy will be in my prayers. :)
Miss Hoppy an "ORDINARY BUNNY"?? I think not!!
Miss Hoppy will be in our thoughts and prayers.
He said there was a possibility that the lump on her side was just a harmless fatty tumor, but that's why HE - the vet - was anxious to get the test results back. I have told everyone at Tufts that people all over the world are praying for my bunny, so that might have hinted at how special she is, but I think Dr. Mayer is just a bunny person - and he has a little boy bunny that looks a lot like Miss Hoppy, too!Quote:

I delived the bunny treat on your behalf. She actually LIKES Dr. Mayer, her Tufts vet, but he is mindful that her little heart is working overhard right now anyway because of the tumor pressing on it. I cannot vouch for the safety of anyone else's fingers, though, and I know there were others involved in the process. She was perky for the treat, and seems back to "normal" except for the shaved patch on her side - and no, no pictures of that, she's embarrassed enough, thank you!Quote:
