As if my Mommy doesn't feel lousy enough at times, she got hit with the flu!!! It's been hangin' on for about a month now. Her doctor said she can't afford to get "sick" because her immune system is already not where it should be due to the cancer, and her meds. Daddy had it, but he got over it rather quickly. Anyway, Mommy is still dealing with a cough, and definitely fatigue, but she feels a lot better than she did. I've just been a good fur and lay by her side to comfort her. Mommy appreciates that, and then gives me lots of kissies!!! I hope she doesn't give me the flu!!!! I'm a tough, hearty gal - I'll just growl and the flu bug will run away yelping!! BOL!!!!

I'm sure that many of you have heard the saying, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". That's what my Mommy has been doing since June. Making lemonade out of lemons. Her "lemon" is the diagnosis that she has stage 4 breast cancer. She found that out when she unexpectedly was rushed to the hospital, back in June, when she was having difficulty breathing. She waited to have any medical care because she thought it was just her allergies/sinuses give her trouble. She just kept taking those over-the-counter allergy/sinus/cold medications. Well, she finally couldn't let it go any longer. She went to the hospital by ambulance, and they admitted her; keeping her for 2 weeks. During that time, they took over a litre of fluid from each lung, plus over a litre of fluid from around her heart. Termed pleural, and cardiac, effusions, she had to have surgery to prevent any fluid from re-accumulating. This is when she found out that she has the cancer. She consented to having a biopsy done because things just didn't look right. They also found some cancer cells on her spine, liver and brain. They attribute the effusions to the cancer. Mommy believes that a positive attitude accounts for a lot of positive outcomes, and she also believes in the old saying "one day at a time".
In the time since, she's had numerous tests done to find out if the cancer has spread any further, and has been placed on medication to combat it. Well, the cancer hasn't spread any further, and, to the doctors amazement, the lesions in her brain have decreased. They said they have no idea ho that came to be or what's going on because they have never seen it before. Mommy just giggled and said that maybe it's an act of God. Something positive is working!!!
All my furiends here on Dogster have been so wonderful!! All the prayers, thoughts, well wishes and love just means so much, and it is so appreciated. Furiends, you have been here for me, and my Mommy. And, furiends, I and my Mommy are here for all of you!! This is what life's about. Loving, learning, giving, sometimes crying, always grateful, and thankful for the days given and the souls who've come into my life. God, and the Angels, are listening, and watching and taking care of all of us. Lemonade all around - free for the taking!!
