Horrible News... This Wasn't Supposed To Happen

Well, the vet just called me. Honda is still at the vet's office. The vet called to tell me that her hip is not arthritis or a torn tendon. She has bone cancer in her pelvis. I totally didn't expect this AT ALL. He says he's 90% sure. It could be a bacterial or fungus infection, but there is no other symptoms to think that. He says she's lucky to see the fourth of july. I just can't believe that. She seems so fine...

He says if we want to be agressive we need to get to Columbus fast. Or we can just be mediocre and just give her pain med and let her live out her life. I think she is too old to be very agressive, so we're just going to do the pain med until that doesn't help and put her down. My poor baby....

Monica and Honda, I am soooo sorry to learn this news. Prayers for you both.

Prayers that just maybe it's a wrong diagnosis, and if not, that she can be comfortable on the pain meds.

Oh, poor Honda. Give her a hug from us, okay?

I´m so sorry... wishing the pain meds work and she gets to stay for a long long long while with you...

hugs to you both.. ((hugs))

i am so sorry

:( Oh I am so Saddened to read this.. Poor wittle Honda.. Would you be willing to try another Vet for a second option.. Huggss & Prayers being sent..

Awww Miss Honda! I have a soft spot for Dals.. as my first dog Pepper (RB) was one. She died of cancer at age 14.

I hope the pain meds help her.. at least you'll know she is comfortable, even if it is too soon for her to leave.

I've been following Honda's story a bit...and I am SO sorry at this heartbreaking news!

Not that I want her to have any pain - but perhaps an oncologist could at least do a biopsy and confirm what it is or isn't? Is there a vet school that might help you and not cost as much?

Prayers for you and dear Honda! :love:

Thanks for the support guys. So I saw the xrays and her hip bone just looks like a moth went through and ate away at it. There are holes where the cancer is killing the bone and the bone is trying to repair itself. He said after another consult with a vet he is now 95-99 percent sure it is cancer. I asked how long he thinks it's been there and he said he didn't know. He knows for sure not two years ago. He said it could be one or it could be six months.

Oh Monica, hugs to you and to Honda. You must be reeling, not expecting this sort of news. Prayers for both of you.

I am so sorry :( Poor Honda. Ugh, Cancer is such a horrible thing. I know it's slim but I am really pressing for that 3% chance it is NOTHING!! ((hugs)) and prayers to you.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear this. :( My thoughts and prayers are with you and Honda.
((((hugs))))

This is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you all. It's a very difficult situation and I can imagine how hard it is on you. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}:(

Sending lots of hugs to you and Honda. ((:love:))

I'm so sorry. After the good news that Honda's bump wasn't cancer this had to be a hugh shock. Hugs to you and her both.

I'm so sorry about Honda Monica. Those are not the news we ever expect to hear. I hope they can keep Honda pain free for her remaining days.

I am so sorry about Honda. :(

I don't venture into the Dog side much but I clicked on your thread and I'm so sorry to read about your dog Honda. Please know that prayers are going up in Honda's behalf and yours, too. :love:
