I'm-a-Survivor - MOC #5-2
- Description
- Journaling:
In July 2016, our youngest Papillon, Trooper, was diagnosed with the “big C”: Cancer, “Recurrent Mast Cell Tumor, Grade 2, High Grade”, to be exact. Then the consulting Veterinarian at the University of Florida Animal Hospital said the “A” word – amputation. Devastating news.
The amputation was performed on Wednesday, August 10. He “bounced back” from the surgery remarkably well -– literally because now he has a little bounce in his step since he is missing his left rear leg. We now call him “tripod Trooper” - hey, you have to have humor, right?
He also survived bi-monthly chemotherapy treatments quite well. On December 15 he was declared “cancer free” and was giving a congratulatory kerchief signed by all of the staff. What a great day that was to end 2016. 01/02/2017
