You're in my thoughts...

It's a very personal choice, whether or not to do chemo. There are no right or wrong answers.

Let's support Christine and Mick by living in the moment.

"Yesterday's" really don't matter at a time like this.

This is for everyone:

If you think anything you say *might* make Christine feel worse, then don't post it.

so sorry to hear the prognosis. if you ever need an ear i don't have dog experience with cancer but my dad was diagnosed with it and has been in and out of remission for the last 10 years. it's really tough. but you will get through. we're all here for you.

Christine i am so sorry and i hope mick makes it through all of this we all do im sending all my good thoughts and hugs from Delilah Bea and the rest of our 2 legged family :goodthoughts:

My thoughts are with you and Mick...big hugs to you.

Sometimes these guys will surprise you. When he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor my rb kitty, Elvis, was given 3-4 weeks to live. We had another great three years with him and we enjoyed every minute of it.

Hang in there and enjoy the happiness you bring each other.

this is my first time visiting this thread, and i was just shocked and saddened by the news. hang in there, christine. mick is lucky to have you as his mama.

This is my first time reading this post too. You and Mick are in my prayers. I am thinking positive thoughts that Mick will beat the odds. They told me that my gal had 6-12 weeks to leave when she was first diagnosed with cancer...she lived almost two years. Praying for the same miracle for Mick.

Christine, i'm so sorry to hear this.

Our loving thoughts are being sent your way ...

Oh my gosh, I just saw this - I've been gone.

Christine - I am so sorry, I don't know what to say. I can't imagine what and how you must be feeling right now.
Warm hugs and lots of good thoughts being sent you way.

AGH! I need to stop disappearing for days on end! OMG Christine! :cry:

I can't even freaking imagine how you feel... I can't even imagine how *I* would feel.... I'm so sorry. I will 100% absolutely positively most definitely keep you and the handsome Mick in my prayers.... oh geesh. :groupHug:

I know someone said this already, but I feel it's important -- NEVER underestimate the power of prayer! If you need anything, ANYTHING at all, please don't hesitate to ask.

You're in my thoughts...

Oh, Erin... I KNOW that!!! :hug3:

Everyones input is appreciated, believe me... I am just a little overwhelmed right now, and if I sound defensive or snarky, I'm sorry.
I know you meant well... and I am glad that you got to spoil your dog for the time he had left... I'm just not ready for this, you know?
And as long as Mick can tolerate chemo and isn't completely miserable, I have to give it a try... it's the only thing I can do for him and it keeps me from losing hope completely...
And Jen is right - it's a personal choice and there are no rights or wrongs when it comes to something like this.
PLEASE keep posting - your support and good thoughts mean a lot to me, and I really didn't mean to sound so... judgmental...

Christine...you do what is right for you and Mick, whatever that is, wherever that takes you. If you do that, it will always be the right thing to do.

Hey, I know I'm not around much, but wanted to let you guys know that you are in my thoughts. :hug3:

Very very good advice ... :hug3:

I think we've all been through something like this, or can imagine it at least...so we all know what you're feeling. :hug3:

Here are some canine cancer links for you...one part is stories of dogs living with and beating cancer, and one part is practical advice stuff. Hope this can help somewhat.
