Sasha continues to do well. We brought her back from the vet’s office on Thursday after having her right arm amputated due to a tumor on her humerus caused by osteosarcoma. Her pain seems to have diminished greatly even though we have begun to ween her off of her pain meds. She wags her tail more often, and she seems to be more comfortable when the other dogs approach her. Now we are waiting to hear back about the results of the bone biopsy. Once we get those results, Liliana and I will determine, along with our vet and the oncologist, what course of action will be taken to help Sasha beat the cancer. I have been researching chemotherapy for canines so that I will be prepared with a good knowledge base when I speak with Dr. N.. My understanding so far is that chemotherapy is not nearly as traumatizing for dogs as it is for people. I am glad about that, but I am fearful that Liliana and I may not be able to afford the cost of treatment. I’ll keep you posted.
