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.

February 3, 2012:

It's a good time to be done with treatment.    I feel a cold coming on.    Now we wait and see.  I will be cleaning and checking the wound many times a day.  I am also taking pictures of it so I can compare them.  It is easy to not notice change when you are staring at something so frequently.  I will be on alert for any sign of a growth.  The one indication of success I do have is that nothing new has grown since we started.  Based on past growth rate, he could have grown a golf ball on his leg during the time of treatment.
