Handhold needed...

[FlyMaybe]

One of our precious DDogs was diagnosed with Lymphoma earlier this year. He underwent 6 months of chemotherapy, and we were delighted to be told that he was in remission.

But over the last few days, I’ve noticed the glands in his neck and the backs of his knees are up again.

Could this be due to anything trivial, or have I got to face the return of his cancer diagnosis?

Really sorry to hear this best to get him back to vets ASAP....my thoughts are with you x

Hope it hasn't returned OP

I don't know op but my heart and hand go out to you. Poor pup.

If he was diagnosed this year and has had chemotherapy six months of this year, I can't see how they can tell you the cancer has gone this year. Did the vet actually say the cancer had gone? Multiple swollen lymph nodes in a dog with a history of lymphoma is likely to be more of the original diagnosis OP sorry. Dogs are amazing creatures and are one the best things about this world. Good luck but I think your gut instinct is correct here

Thanks all for your kind words. Sadly as I suspected it’s the return of the Lymphoma. My lovely boy will leave us on Friday. Please hold him in your thoughts.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that

Oh no, so sorry. What a handsome boy, spoil him as much as you can

so sorry to hear this. heartbreaking. run free beautiful pup x

What a handsome boy. Wishing you strength for Friday, and lots of lovely spoiling for him over the next few days.

He is beautiful - my heart and hand-hold go out to you.

So sorry, fly

Oh FlyMaybe , my heart breaks for you. Here's hoping you have a lovely few days with him this week and that Friday goes as peacefully and well as can be expected. It's just so sad to have to say goodbye to them, isn't it? My thoughts are with you (both).

I’m finding it difficult to sleep tonight. I keep thinking that when I wake up, it’ll nearly be time. So I don’t want to sleep...

Fly I am so sorry and have never been in your position but I do think you are doing your utter best for your boy even though it's so painful to do. Hope you have both had lots of cuddles this week and today brings him peace. for you.

I’m so sorry fly

I am in tears here thinking of you and your lovely hound. It is so hard.
and hand-hold for you .

It’s so very sad saying a final goodbye to a beloved pet but you are doing the very best for him. You wouldn’t want him to suffer. Thinking of you today

Holding your hand tightly. I am a vet nurse so deal with these things daily. Please take comfort that your dog has had a lovely life and that you are doing the right thing. Know that the people who help you through this feel a little bit of your grief alongside you. They won't show it but they absolutely do feel it.

Thinking of you and your beloved boy

Can begin to imagine how you're feeling. So sorry 🌷

I'm so sorry OP. He's so beautiful.

My lovely boy is gone

He died in my arms, calm with no pain, and the Vet and his nurse were obvs upset too. They have cared for him through removal of 2 tumours and all his chemo during the first bout of Lymphoma.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I know we did the right thing, that he was basically already dying. Doing my best to think of the happy times. But it's a sad night chez Fly tonight. I know MN doesn't like these. But I'm going to post them anyway.

🐾🌈💔

To my beautiful boy

I’m so sorry for your loss
I too had to let go of my beautiful girl today, I am beyond heartbroken (I haven’t slept a wink yet) but I take some comfort knowing it was time and she is now at peace.
I hope you do too x

So sorry Teacup. It's so hard isn't it?

May your precious girl fly free.
