Home from the Vet
Biopsy
Taking a much needed rest after his visit to the vet
I rarely blog about anything personal..... but, today is an exception.
It's been a rough morning. I received the dreaded news..... cancer.
Meet Sir Archibald.... aka "Archie".
He is my sweet 8 1/2 year old Boxer pup. He's the light of my life.... my pride and joy.
Last Friday I noticed a lump on his leg. He wasn't in pain but I knew it should be checked right away. He just had his routine six month check up and shots two weeks ago and the vet didn't notice it! Anyway, his appointment was this morning. He has a mast cell tumor and the biopsy came back with abnormal cells.... possible cancer. He has surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning to remove the tumor and for another biopsy.
I know lots of you have and love your fur babies. I am no exception. I love Archie so much. We've had him since he was six weeks old and I can't bare the thought of him being sick or losing him.
Most of life's problems can be fixed but sometimes we are powerless. We must rely on our faith. I believe in God's miracles and in the power of prayer..... and today I am asking for your prayers.....
that God will bless and heal my beloved Archie.
Many thanks.
Be well and may God bless.

Hello.
I wanted to take a minute to post an update.
Archie had surgery yesterday and is home now. He's in a lot of pain but doing as expected.
The good news is the surgery went well... the bad news is they found and removed a second tumor. The one on his leg and one on his back. Poor baby... he has been through the ringer.
Tears. It is so hard to see him like this.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your prayers and kind words of support. It means so much.
I will update again once the results from the biopsy come back... approx 14 days.
Thank you, once again.
May God bless.
