Lucas has cancer (5-22-06)

Oh, and just curious, with Peanut's tumor, the vet gave me signs of what to look for to tell the tumor was getting worse. He said she would start straining to pee and there would probably be blood in her urine. Did your vet give you any signs to look for? I would think it would be similar signs, like straining to poop and blood? Just curious

No, we really haven't have time to talk about a lot of things. But when I call to report I'll try to get more info.

Just to say that I think of you and your sweet boy.

I keep watching for updates. Good luck with this.

UNBELIEVABLE Lucas' poops are actually forming into very soft logs only 1 day after his first shot. Will they be even better tomorrow??

I am not sure how the tumors are going to be affected, but Lucas' poop has been liquid for 3 weeks straight, so this is an astounding improvement.

(of course, my house is a maze of plastic tarps covering the carpets, as mr. Lucas hasn't used a litter box in months. ) Good thing I never get company.

The first thread I looked at today and good news already!

This is fantastic. Un dia la vez, Lucas. One day at a time. I try not to underestimate the power of PT prayers, and they seem to be working their magic here too.

Come on, Lucas. You've got a lot of people pulling for you!

((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) to you both!

Good news! That must have made both you and Lucas feel good. Let's hope it works on the tumors as well as it works on making him feel better overall.

I know what you mean about plastic tarps everywhere. I have plastic draped over all sofas and chairs then skirted and taped onto the carpet (spraying problems). This morning I tried to sit on my usual sofa with a direly needed cuppa and fell off as all the blankets slid on the plastic.
