A Dread Update

Just a little update on our first born.... :)

Dread had his third round of chemo this afternoon. One more to go!!! And, if he's all clear after the fourth round we can stop with the treatments!

While Dread was there for his treatment we also asked for the doctor to take a look at an area that Jep and I had become a little concerned about. Jep would probably tell you I was A LOT concerned about. We recently noticed a growth in the same area on Dread's side where the tumor was removed. I, of course, being the worrier that I am automatically thought the tumor was back. So, of course at this appointment we made a point that Dr. L take a look at the area. Well, Dr. L did an ultrasound and is pretty positive that it is just some scar tissue and not a sarcoma. He said everything looked good and Dread appeared to look great! This was such a relief and we are so happy to hear this news. Dr. L also gave us some left over samples of Palladia--a somewhat new anti-cancer drug for dogs. We are trying to attack this thing from all angles to make sure no cancer comes back.

So overall, it was a great appointment and we are so relieved to hear more good news about our little guy's health. Thanks so much everyone for the prayers and support. It means so, so much to us!
