A lot can happen in a few short weeks in the world of a cancer patient……we’ve had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and our minds are still spinning from all of it. I can’t even remember how many times we went up, down and all around on this crazy cancer roller coaster since I shared my last Pupdate on Emma. We went from being certain that she just had radiation side effects……to being certain that the cancer was back…..to being pretty sure that it wasn’t a cancer recurrence and thinking we had a miracle…..to finding out that the surgery unfortunately failed and now we’re very concerned but not 100% certain that the cancer has returned…..it’s all completely exhausting and confusing and overwhelming.
Emma started chemotherapy last week and she’ll get one injection every three weeks. But don’t worry…..dogs don’t get the same horrible side effects that people do from chemo. Emma is as happy as can be and she has no idea that she’s sick. She doesn’t have a care in the world!
Right now we’re in “wait and see” mode. The oncologists aren’t quite sure what’s going on…..they all have pow wows and talk about how unique Emma’s case is. Soooo, we just have to wait and see how she responds to treatment over the next few weeks and then reassess the situation.
It’s hard to stay calm, cool and collected but I’m trying to Live Like Emma and just enjoy every second of life and every second that we’re together!
Hugs,
Jenny
