Pawsitive thought for Zeke, please; UPDATE Post 15

I hope whatever he has is fixable, and quick.

Me too! I'm not too sure what would cause growths in his lungs.. and the fluid build-up.. but I hope its something we can manage.

Just checking in to see how Zeke's doing. Good to hear it's not cancer. Hopefully it won't be too serious.

Unfortunately, I don't have any good news to share. He had the ultrasound today and they found a large mass on his left lung and several other masses on the right side. She couldn't hear any lung activity on the left side with her stethoscope, which explains the large mass there. They'll be testing a sample of the mass, but its definitely cancer. They'll just test to see what kind, but it could just come back as blood like the first test did. (She explained that the first test came back without cancerous cells because the only type of cancer that will show up in the blood is bone marrow cancer.. )

Surgery and chemo aren't options since it has spread to both sides... So we'll just be making him comfortable for the rest of the time he has left with us. We'll continue to get him chest taps when needed, although not too often since they run the risk of introducing bacteria.

Thank you again for all of you support and positive thoughts.

I'm sorry the news wasn't better. I have one with a new cancer diagnosis myself so I can relate!

I hope Zeke gets much more comfy, happy time with you.
