Lymphoma No Cure Today Is Friday 10th April 2009
Perhaps
its wrong of me to suggest there is no hope, perhaps your one of the lucky ones
that can get your dog cured, but this is about Scamp, not anybody else's Westie,
its about my Westie, I only want the best for him, I want to do what's right,
but im only human, and make human mistakes, I look for expert opinions, but
there are none. If I go ahead with chemotherapy, perhaps Scamp will live an
extra 4 months, and you would agree that every extra day would be a good day.
However the terrible side effects can make him very ill, at this moment in time Im looking at quality of life, and the fact that on this day he is very well, bouncy and showing no signs of illness, and I don't want to do anything to change this. Perhaps as he becomes ill, and I need to do something, I will re think about chemotherapy, but everyone I have spoken to is saying to make the most of life with him, and stay away from chemotherapy, as its not going to cure anything.
So this is the end of these pages for now, I don't know if I will come back to them again, the site, life in general has become unbearable, and right now I just want to be with Bobby and Scamp, and my wife pat, our grandson Benjamin, and take some trips to the beach, do the things we have always done, try to come to terms with this.
At this moment in time, Scamp is given prednisolone (steroids) tablets every day, and I have bought some Hills Prescription diet n/d. I know Im against junk food, but the Hills n/d will help, if he stops eating his regular food (Human food) then he is going to need concentrated food. So far he's eating eating, and eating, I think the tablets must be doing this. His weight is 10.2Kg and I will be watching this.
So that's it for now, who knows perhaps there is a god out there, and I will be back here a year later to tell you he's still doing fine, a new page will be added after this one, if anything further develops.
