We have a bit of time........it's not something that has to be done tomorrow. And we need some time to come up with the money to get this thing removed/biopsied since they quoted us about $300. I just keep thinking that Cricket should really get a break on this. He's had so many problems with this stomatitis crap and as long as we keep his mouth healthy with the depo-medrol shots, he's healthy, happy, playful and talking. I DO know that if it's cancer, I won't put him through chemotherapy. Not after what we went through with Squeegee. I'm trying hard to stay positive but geez, after being in there and having it all laid out for us, it's really hard. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "But we've been watching a lump in between Cricket's shoulder blades for the past 6-7 weeks or so. They discovered this lump the first time we took Cricket in to them. Anyway, it's growning and seems to be attached very deeply to the muscle/body structure underneath. They're thinking it *might* be a fibrosarcoma but we're hoping it's just a granuloma or something like that." on 8:03:54 am, Thu, 09/27/07

It doesn't help that I'm tired, cranky and have a huge headache. Gerry and I both had fasting blood work at the lab this morning (hence, no cigarette and no coffee) and he has his wrist X-rayed. Just the wait until the lab opens is rough when you can't get any coffee or breakfast and I can't take my medications. By the time we went out for breakfast afterwards, we both had headaches. I can't take any extra anti-inflamatories like Advil so I'm just hoping it goes away soon. All in all, it's been a pretty crappy 24 hours. (NT) -- Sandy, 8:11:42 am, Thu, 09/27/07
I'd be tired and cranky too Sandy...between being so worried about Cricket, then not to be allowed to eat or have your coffee and cigarette first thing in the morning...just does not start the day out right.....
maybe you can get some rest today......Hope the X-rays turn up nothing major for Gerry's wrist... (NT) -- Kate, 9:28:30 am, Thu, 09/27/07
Aw...gees, this is just not fair to Cricket!! The poor guy has already been through so much, I'm with you, he definitely deserves a break!!! I don't blame you on not going the chemo route with him....
but hey, I know this is easier said than done, but try not to get too far ahead of yourself..maybe it's not cancerous...I'll sure be thinking of all of you and saying some extra special prayers for Cricket... (NT) -- Kate, 9:23:07 am, Thu, 09/27/07
