[Freedom]

Candace, Sugar will turn age 15 years on May 1. Marlin, don't have an exact birthday so I use the date he arrived here as a foster, he will be age 14 years on Aug 2.

The others are a bit younger, Lacey is 9; Tasha is 7 and Willy is 8.

Sandie,

I am so sorry to hear about Sugar. You, your Dad and the fur kids will be in my thoughts and prayers.

What Moosmom said!

A candle, too... http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=15886351

Aw, thank you for the candle, Elyse.

And thank you, each and every one of you, for the support and caring messages. I haven't posted much except for updates; but I read and re-read what you have written to us. It means so much.

Maybe those pills will help extent Sugars life & slow down the cancer. If she is eating & going on her walks she can still enjoy life to fullest. Take each second at a time Sugar & enjoy those pats, walks, & the love of your humans & doggie friends.

Thanks, Bonny.

There is no chance of a cure or of remission. This is a fast, aggressive cancer.

Palladia has a 37% success rate in slowing its growth. IF Sugar is in that 37%, she may have as much as 90 days, certainly not longer. The specialist is making it all clear to me, he says he doesn't want to "sugar coat" it, there is nothing good in this sort of cancer. And if we are in the 63% where the chemo pill has no effect, we will be lucky to see 4 weeks.

I've "spoken" with someone on FB who lost her bichon to this last year. She chose not to do the Palladia, just keep him comfortable. She says it was all so fast she could barely adjust to the diagnosis, and he was gone.

Sandie, you and Sugar are in my thoughts. Sending love and hugs, and hope Sugar will be comfortable and painfree.
