We have all paws crossed, here, for our friend Duke. And THAT is a LOT of paws!

I hope that everything goes well tomorrow and that Duke's biopsy results come back benign. I'll be keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am still keeping your Duke in my prayers.
We actually just learned ultrasound guided needle aspirations in lab 2 weeks ago, very interesting. Let us know how everything turns out, and hang in there Traci!

We'll be thinking of you today!

With a very heavy heart I have to say my wonderful Dukie boy has cancer. The mass is very porous. I was able to go back and see it on the ultrasound. She did the aspiration, this time it was not full of blood but more "saline-fluid like". No positive cells showing any particular cancer but the porousness says it is. My boy will be even more spoilt than ever...if that is at all possible. I am going to savor every moment left (which I hope is still lots of time). She gave no time frame, just said he could have several months before having any problems. We need to alter his lifestyle slightly, no using the doggie door for fear of him bumping the lump and starting the bleeding again or agravating the tumor. The tumor has grown in 2 weeks, was 9x7 centimeters and is now 9x9.

I am feeling the guilt now of not having some something sooner even though the vet said with this type of cancer it would not have made any difference. It is just so aggressive. It will come back always...

I thank you all for everything, the support, the prayers...everything.

I am so sorry and sad to hear this outcome. Love him up loads and please give him a hug and kiss from me.
