No, we didn't get a dog...but I think about it all the time. Must be the Empty Nest Syndrome kicking in.
Rob is the sick puppy today. Dr. Kreitzer was pretty optimistic immediately after Rob's surgery but was whistling a different tune when we met with him a week later. Apparently, the biopsy showed that the cancer had spread to the fatty lining of the tumor in Rob's bladder. (Who knew that Rob had any fatty layers at all?) Rob will need to undergo the BCG treatments again...with an extra added chemical to keep the cancer from spreading. If the cancer is found in the next layer (muscle) the only treatment is removal of the bladder. He had his 2nd treatment this past Wednesday and he was so sick....shaking as violently as Ian did when he had Flumonia and in a terrific amount of pain. According to the doctors office, the more pain the better the drugs are working. I'm not sold yet. Rob sleeps the entirety of the following day before he begins to recover. Send good thoughts our way.
