The Cancer has Returned


I knew this, before I started the blog. In fact, the cancer is the main reason I started the blog. But still...to see it...I am so sad I am going to lose the Little Girl. Dogs don't live as long as people do...I knew I'd lose her some day...I just wish it wasn't to this awful disease.

In this photo, yes, she is sitting in the chair at the vet clinic this morning. If you look closely at her left jawline, you can see a red dot towards the back, a different color than her gums. That is the cancer, growing at a rapid clip. It won't kill her, but if I chose no treatment, it would eventually make chewing so painful that she'd stop eating. I won't let the cancer get that far, of course, but it is still so difficult to think even that small bump puts her in pain.
