    My Lucas went for his 2nd depo injection today. We will also try putting him back on the pancrenzyme (this is the ONE medicine that actually helped him. None of the others did)

    If it doesn't keep the diarrhea at bay the vet feels there is not a whole lot else to do........

    We can talk about chemo therapy, but her words "If I thought it were a viable option I'd say go for it, but......." I will not prolong agony for the sake of a few months.

    I never asked about the time he might have less, I will take it a day at a time.




    {{{{{{{{{{{{{LUCAS}}}}}}}}}}}} why did it have to be you?

    I wouldn't do that either....

    I hope that the new injection and the pancrenzyme will give him some life quality back!

    Please give Lucas some head scritchies from me, okay?

    I didn't know your own vet thought that...but I am glad she was clear.

    Praying that some meds help and you have more wonderful days with Lucas!

    I did not really know her stand on chemo until today (because I did not ask). She really felt the depo injections would do more for him....... but maybe it is just the placements of his particular tumors that make this symptom so extreme.

    Just keep Lucas in your prayers (not for a cure, but for comfort and joy). If you knew him, you would love him too.

    Jen, you and Lucas have my prayers...for comfort and joy, internal peace and wisdom...and effective medications.

    Throughout the years, I feel I have gotten to know and to love him. Thank you for sharing him with us.

    I absolutely would love Lucas! I hope I didn't give the impression I wouldn't.

    I really hope these new treatments bring comfort to him, and to you.
