    Serious prayers for you and Duke. I had a ferret that had the hemangioscarcoma cancer. It was a most heartbreaking time, it's an awful cancer. Especially in one so little. I am certain that you love Duke with all your heart and whatever decision you make will be the right one for the two of you. I am here if you want to talk about it.

    Traci, I am so sorry you came back under these circumstances. I really don't know what I would do in this situation with your lovely boy, Duke. I love that handsome boy and always enjoyed your threads about him and his broffurs. I am so sorry you are going through this. Decisions like this are so hard, and while it is hard, you are truely the only person who can make it. You know your baby the best. There are so many things I regretted with Sassy, but with time I realized perhaps it was just meant to be.

    (((hugs))) and may you have strength when making this hard choice. I promise, I BACK YOU 100% in whatever you do! I know that's not much, and that is regretful of me, but I hope you are able to choose.

    I will keep you and Duke in my prayers. Making these type of decisions is never easy and you may question it, but I know your decision will come from your heart in the best interest of Duke. I've been there before. {hugs}

    How heartbreakingly hard this is for you.

    Is there any point in using that old line with the vet: "What would you do if it was your dog?"

    HUGS and prayers to you and Duke. Glad his bruising has healed so well...I am sure he feels more comfortable.

    I'm so sorry that you're going through this difficult time. I know that whatever decision you decide to make that it'll be what's best for Duke. I'm also going through something similar with my cat Sunny. He also has an aggressive type of cancer and only has 3-5 months to live. I've decided to just make him as comfortable as possible and enjoy the time that I have left with him. Another PT'er said that "sometimes the treatment is far worse than the disease itself." I believe this to be true and when the quality of life is gone then it's time to say goodbye. Lots of prayers an positive thoughts are being sent Duke's way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
