I am undergoing treatment for breast cancer. In the last few days of January 2008 I noticed a lump in my breast - I called immediately to set up a mammogram. Mammogram was on February 1st, as I was leaving...possibility of a malpractice lawsuit. Seriously, I dont give advice like that lightly. The good news is that triple negative is often very responsive to chemo. Similar posts: lymph node cancer

Thursday evening, when I came home from work, there was muddy poop on the floor in the kitchen. I cleaned it up, and let the dogs outside, where Jasmine had what seemed to be a regular bowel movement...her as that. This was taken just now with Jasmine in my lap, while I've been typing. Thank you all for reading, and for thinking and praying about Jasmine. She would have loved you all

Holy Bad Haircut, Batman. And... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JASMINE!

It's day 53. I cannot believe it. She's made it 7.5 weeks beyond diagnosis. And honestly, she's not deteriorating very much. I look at her today, and I wonder if she WON'T make it another 6 months. She's...in such a way. It will be a treasure to have. Here are a couple of videos - the playful video was taken 2 months before her diagnosis in September of 2008. The sleepy one is of just a few weeks ago.

I almost, ALMOST got Jasmine to play today. I tried to take advantage of her most playful time, and that would be right after the bath. She showed interest in her favorite soft toy for about 1 full second...of Big Love. Jasmine is a big fan of the show, don't let her fool you. She has always enjoyed being near me, so hanging out in the bed is really nothing new. Tonight feels almost normal. Almost

I came home from work a little early yesterday, putting me home about 2 hours before the dogs' normal potty time. Usually, this isn't a big deal, but I'm sure Jasmine was thankful. She drinks SO. MUCH...) 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Jasmine's 12th birthday is coming up. January 19th. I hope she is still here for it. Things with her are definitely getting worse. She's not the same dog at all. She doesn't want much to do with me...play. She doesn't want to spend time with me. She doesn't sleep on her beds anymore. She cannot jump. She only enjoys food. That's it. It's depressing. It's a waiting game. We're still waiting

R and I took Jasmine to the vet on Saturady morning. They said she is definitely bloated, and that the bloat could either be gas or fluid. Prednisone causes both. The poor girl looks like she did when...from the steroid. After only 2 days on the antibiotic, her breath is WAY better. Anyway, that's all the update I have. I'm thankful that I will have 4 days off this coming weekend to spend with her

On Saturday, Day 23 , Jasmine tinkled on the floor twice. Two different times. This week, she's been having trouble breathing. Snoring all the time. Not just when she's sleeping. She sounds like a...left with her. But I want her to be happy during that time. Not run down and feeling bad. I hope the vet tells us that she's par for the course, and that there isn't any necessary things to be done.
