Cora & J - need prayers

Good thots and prayers still -- hoping the news is decent and treatable.  Hoping you are strong and so is everyone else.  Wishing I could take even part of your burden, Paige. 

Candles Page -- She needs it

hoping the news is decent and treatable. 

Today is not a good day for Cora to go, though, as her owner's first husband died in a car accident 20 years ago today.  So.  Buying as many days as we can with whatever supportive care will get her feeling good enough to make it worthwhile.  She is weak now, but totally capable of continuing with respectfully good life if she would just eat/get nutrients into her body.  No heroics, no suffering for the sake of more time.  Just get her hydrated and nutrients in her to end on a high note.

Thank you Callie, for continuing to post.  I know there's nothing more to say on each update, but I know a few are watching this thread looking for updates.

 Well, she has posted it publicly now:

"Last night I received a call from our vet informing me that the results from the last round of tests came back. Cora does, in fact, have a form of histiocytic sarcoma with no distinguishable point of origin. This means it is not treatable."

She had other things to say about it personally, the plan of action b/c Cora is still drinking and showing interest in trotting around the yard and being w/her mom, but that's the deal.  Thanks again for caring.

Candle lit and prayers for Cora and J.   I know this is also difficult for you Paige.  Lots of hugs coming that direction for you all.

((((((((hugs & love & good thots for Paige, Cora, Cora's owner)))))))

Prayers and gentle energy for all from here (((hugs)))

I'm sorry to hear the latest on Cora.  I hope her remaining days are as pain free as possible.  I'm sending comfort vibes to J and all who love Cora. 

 Aw, I'm so sorry. ((hugs)) and peaceful vibes for all.

 So sorry to hear this news. Sending thoughts to all from NY.

Vet nearly called owner back to have Cora PTS today, but she responded so well to fluids and actually ate a little ID dog food.  Hope for some good hours/days to end on the higher note.  Possible chemo treatment that may make her feel better for a couple/few more weeks.  It won't hurt/do any harm, but it may not make any difference.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.  Cora is staying overnight at the Vet's tonight.

Still praying/thinking good thots for you and **all**. 

((((hugs)))) -- hope it goes well!

Thanks again, Callie.  I know you're reading and care, whether you post a reply or not each time I provide an update.  I posted this in the Mindless Chatter, but figured I'd share here, too:

Cora is home tonight, looking and feeling well enough to eat some food on her own. If she continues to eat on her own and look good, we should know in a few days if the chemo treatment will buy her another few days, up to 2-3 weeks. No heroics, nothing particularly artificial to sustain life just for the sake of life. Rather, to gain some leverage on her previously dwindling body in order to get some good times in... times spent in the yard, up in the woods, whatever she wants. End it on a high note if possible.
