Update on Lydia: it was just a belly ache!
The other day I blogged about the sleepless night Lydia and I had because she wasn’t feeling well and wrote about how things like that always remind me her cancer could come back at any time. For the most part, I didn’t think it was the ...
Things look better in the light of day
Lydia and I both finally got some sleep this morning – after our sleepless night. I had couple people email me privately after reading my last post asking, “Do you really think her cancer is back?” The answer is no, I don’t th...
Lydia has a rough night. Is the cancer back?
I’m going to venture a guess and say that anyone whose dog been diagnosed with cancer is always on alert. Things that were looked at as minor issues or annoyances in the past now take on a new meaning. Like vomiting. Before Lydia was diagnosed ...
Lydia has a lump on her chest
I just found a lump on Lydia’s chest. I’m trying really hard not to freak out. When I say I just found it, I mean just minutes ago. I was petting her while we snuggled on the couch and then I felt something under my fingers. I immediately...

Lydia update: Same old wonderful news!
Yesterday Lydia visited her oncologist and got the same wonderful news we always hope for…NO cancer! Her ultrasound didn’t show anything other than what it should have. Her cancer is still in remission, and she’s doing absolutely gr...
Lydia update: Remission is the word!
I didn’t sleep last night because today was ultrasound and chemo day for Lydia, and it’s always troublesome to think of what might show up. Tonight though, I’ll sleep like a baby. The news we got from her vet was great! Her cancer i...
Lydia update: Good news at a crossroads
Lydia’s doing great! She had a pretty busy day today and is lying on the couch next to me as I type. I thought about going into the office to get some work done but I don’t have the heart. She looks so comfortable and I know if I get up s...
Lydia update: still in remission!
This is Lydia with her oncologist, Dr. John Hintermeister, from Capital Area Veterinary Specialists here in Austin. When I asked one of the vet techs today if she thought I could get a picture of him with Lydia, she said he wasn’t keen on photo...
Lydia update: Chemo round 4 done
Remission! That’s the official word, and what a sweet word it is! Even though Lydia’s ultrasound turned out clear on Sept. 10, the first time the doc used the word remission was yesterday. He’s really pleased with her progress and s...
