Cancer SUCKS!

The vet called today and unfortunately the tumor we had removed from Lou was in fact cancer. It's called a fibrosarcoma. They say it's a soft tissue cancer and that they THINK they got it all, but we are to keep a close eye on him. If it comes back or he seems to not feel well (vomiting, diarhea, bleeding, traumatic things like that), they may have to go back in and look at it again. From the little bit I've read online about it, it's common for them to come back and they don't respond well to chemotherapy. Brandon is of course sad, but seems to be more hopeful than I that it will not come back and he'll be fine. I feel like I'm in denial or was at least, because I was convinced he was going to be fine and they'd tell us it was nothing. So, we will definitely be praying for our little guy to pull through this still...

The Louie Factor

Well, here I go... please keep in mind this is my first time. I'm sure the only person who may be interested in this is my good friend Amy, but I'm going for it anyway! I suppose the latest "news" would be about Louie's surgery. He had a lump removed from his back a few days ago. The vet is supposed to send it to a pathologist and let us know about the results. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all is well and this too shall pass. I know, probably sounds lame, but he's one of our kids at this point in our lives and cancer sucks! The vet seems to think he's so young and healthy that it could just be a plasma cell something or another and there's probably nothing to worry about. He acts like nothing even happened and seems like he has no idea why I make such a fuss over him since he had the surgery. Hopefully, that is a good sign. Please keep your fingers crossed for our little guy...
