I
first noticed a lump on Pinche's ribcage back in May of
2003. The small mound quickly turned into something the
size of a grapefruit and in June, his regular vet removed
what would turn out to be a cancerous tumor. The good
news: it hadn't spread and Pinche made a quick
recovery.
Or
so we thought.
Less
than six months later, the tumor returned. Bigger and
harder than before. And this time, it brought
reinforcements -- or "abnormalities" as the Doctor
described them.
Since
I know that Pinche and I are not alone on this long
journey -- I wanted to tell his story, to document this
painful process so that others who may be going thru the
same heartbreak can know they are not
alone.
I
will update the dogblog as there is news about his
condition -- which I think will be pretty often.
Eventually, I will post links and information that I hope
will be helpful to anyone going thru this.

This
is a dog's story.
My
dog. Your dog. Our dog.
Thanks
for sharing the journey.
