Why am I writing this?

I have known many, many people who have had their dogs die from cancer. In many cases, the cancer was too far advanced to treat. Of those who did treat, you don't know the details of what they went through. It sounds quite simple when summarized with 'we went though chemo and he lived 2 years'. There is a whole lot more emotion and decisions to be made. Treatment is not always simple.

This blog is my own personal experience. Some days are filled with frustration, others are filled with laughter. If anyone is offended, I can't apologize for my emotions. I typed what I felt at the time. It does not mean I feel the same today. If you want clarification, just ask. No matter my frustrations, I know my vet and oncologist are doing a fantastic job of caring for Arri. He just is not co-operating by being a 'typical' case.

The wait....

The week before Christmas was a time of waiting.  Appropriate for the season.  I wasn’t waiting in anticipation though.  I was waiting for Arri’s incision to heal.  I was waiting for Dr Mike to call in the referral so I could make an appointment with the oncologist.  I needed to have a chat so I understood all the options.   The first available appointment where Tim was also able to go was January 5.  Ok.  We wait a little more.
