Sadie

We got up early Sunday morning, fed our cats and then packed Sadie for her big adventure with the veterinary radiologist, a 60 mile trip from home.  We brought along canned and dry food for a week, a toy and towels with the scent of home.  Little traffic and we arrived shortly before our scheduled 9:30 a.m. appointment.

The doctor looked at the x-rays, read the medical reports and examined Sadie.  He said they would scan Sadie and keep her at least overnight and that we would hear from him Sunday evening.  We did and it was not good news.  While Sadie does have some small tumors on her thyroid they are not the mass that has been our concern.  These small tumors do not require any treatment at this time.

The doctor feels that the large mass in her throat is some other form of cancer but he can not tell what is involved.  He does not feel it is a lymphoma but it could be a cancer of one of the many other tissues in Sadie’s throat.  He also told us that other cancers are harder to diagnose and more difficult to treat. He will be forwarding the test results back to our oncologist and regular vet.

It seems we are back to square one and things do not look good.  We will be picking Sadie up from the radiation specialist Monday morning and will contact our oncologist.  I do not think we have too many options but we will know more tomorrow.
