Honey to have Surgery

I'm sorry Sandra... I know this is something you really didn't need right now.

Sending Honey healing thoughts.

Get well soon, Honey!!

It's never a 'right time' to worry.  And they are *always* worrisome.

Would it make YOU feel better to feed her a cancer diet while you wait?  maitake mushroom capsules? (they help protect healthy cells from any cancer in the body).  Might make you feel like you were actually *doing* something while you wait.

I'm sorry Sandra  -- like I said, it's just plain NEVER easy, but good catch on finding it!!

What in the world are those things,Callie?  Neve hard of them.  She is on grain free diet--Taste of the Wild, and home cooked--2/3 TOTW and 1/3 homecooked--which is only chicken, thights &necks, and either beef liver or chicken gizzards, and sweet potatoes, apples and green beans.  Her daily sups are a fish oil cap twice a day and the once a da, a vitamin E cap, Cranberry cap, milk thistle cap, biotin tab, EsterC tab, Gluco/Chondro/MSM tab,

You're already doing lots to prevent bad things. Maitake mushrooms are dog safe, and very popular for general cell protection. Lots of folks who have cancer or are at high risk take maitake capsules, to support their systems. I think they're also a really good immune booster....  

Thanks for the info.  Wher do i find these things, at a heathy place like GNC?

  Not sure if GNC has them, but health food stores carry them. I gave Jessie some made by Solaray while waiting for the results of a lump that was removed last fall, and fed her canned food (higher in protein, lower in carbs). Sandra, I'll be praying for Honey, but it sounds like she will be fine, since the lump was aspirated and he only found fat cells. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}

 Sandra, Sending Honey loving healing vibes, I'm happy to hear that they needle asperated the lump, in my experience its always better to remove the lump even if the vet says its a fatty lump.......been there done that and waited too long for the darn thing to only grow and get bigger and then when it was removed and sent off it was a MCT, after that episode all lumps and bumps were removed no questions asked. 

Again, love, light, healing vibes and blessings coming your way to you and Honey.

God Bless and may he give you both the strength to get thru this, be brave and believe, love light and blessings, Michelle  

Thanks everyone or all the kind thoughts.  I admit i am worried after losing KayCee to cancer less than 8 weeks ago....and knowing 60% of golden retrieves  die of cancer.  Someties it is heabreaking on the golden retriever forums i belong to when so many young dogs--sometimes just a year old--are diagnosed with cancer...all kinds of. cancer-- bone, , nasal, lung, spleen, liver, lymph nodes, you name it.

 On  Monday May 14, 2007 two people posted about losing their dogs.  One had jumped off the deck and broke her leg and when it as x-rayed, the bone was riddled ith cancer.  They let her go right then.  I think this happened on the Friday.  Another guy's dog got sick over the weekend and whhe took the dog in Moday morning, they found he had cancer of liver, speen, etc and Steve let him go that afternoon.  The very net monring i lost my golden boy to heart attack.  however he was 12 yrs. 3 months old and had never been sick except for one little kidney infction a litle over a year before.  But those other two oldens were young dogs.  Cancer just snuck up on them and claimed them.  Like you I hate cancer. Ws bone cancer that cliamed my 12 1/2 year old irish Setter back in '97

Sandra Healing vibes and positive energy going out for both of you !!    Isn't it awesome that you now know what to and where to look??  Honey will be okay,  I am sure of it.   In the mean time please, remember to breathe,  she will pick up on your heavy stress load and wow how hard will that be one her??

A candle is lit ,  stop and focus... it is smallish in a frosted votive that has an Island etched in it.   It smells of the surf and sand, clean and crisp, the hinit of salt,  you almost hear the gulls as it quietly flickers on my mantle... breathe in and breathe out.  Think of you and Honey , a White sand beach and the chacne to run or walk it while looking for sea shells and birds to charge and scatter.... the sky is overcast as only a sea shore sky can be... just enough to mimic the grey of the Gulf,  hints of white and silver in the clouds ... the breeze is enough to fly a kite , but not enough to steal your hat..... walk with her....  see your foot prints , hers and yours.... and  let the tension and fear seep away from you ....

keep us posted, till then it is what it is.... she is so special and you are so lucky this is what you need to focus on....

Thanks so much Bonita.  i can picture it svery easy because I do live on the coast.  It is very calming to think of the call of the gulls, the sound o the waves rollng up on the beach, picturing the moon shining off the waters, looking for shells--and fossil shark teeth--on the beach. 

I am worried, but notstressed.  I was diagnoed with diabetes just a little over a month ago--my blood surgar which should have been between 65 and 100 was 350.  At the same time I was diagnosed with hypothyroid--should have been 0.3 to 5.1 and was15.7.  No wonder i was sleeping 16 hours a day, no energy.  The meds are starting to work.  After suppoer tonight my sgar s 190.  I wa scared it would climb back up, but I am staying calm as i can.  And I guess it is working.

Hang in there Sandra....my thoughts and best wishes are with you guys!

How's Honey feeling, Sandra? Is she doing OK?

  Sorry to hear you have diabetes; hope the meds keep you well. Hang in there; it won't be long till Honey has the surgery and you know what you're dealing with; I'll keep her in my prayers.
