I can't think of a title line

I am very sad to tell you all this... Madison, my precious dog, has cancer.

We found out last Thursday.
I didn't post it then because we did not know the diagnosis until today.

He had an appointment with a doggie oncologist this afternoon.
We still don't have an exact diagnosis but will know for sure in the next few days.

It's not good.

He will likely only be with us for maybe a week or so.
Possibly a few months, but it's unlikely.

Thankfully, my schedule will allow me to fly down on Saturday night and spend a few days with him and say goodbye to him.

We are shocked to say the least.
As I have written before, we were expecting to lose Rizon soon, but not Madi.

Lymphoma spreads crazy quick in dogs. They can get it and die from it all within the same month. There are no symptoms until it's too late.

Doggie chemo is very successful when started in Stage 1 or 2.
But he is in Stage 4 or 5.

It also does not have the side effects that human chemo has.
So that's a plus!

Even so, it is most likely too late.

He got a shot of chemo today... by this weekend we will know if it worked.

So forgive me once again as I will likely fall behind on my posts.

Please keep my family in your thoughts & prayers.
We have been through a lot in the last month (grandma died a month ago today)

Pets are like humans to us.
Madison is my parents' only 'grandchild'.
This is not going to be easy.
