Been researching my oncology/surgery options here on the front range in Colorado. I’m north of Denver. I cannot get into CSU (Fort Collins) for a few weeks. I’ve already been to in to see the oncologist at Aspen Meadows in Longmont. I’m leaning towards amputation/chemo (carboplatin is what they). Just thought I’d send out some feelers regarding going w another oncologist w CSU so close. The difference for driving is 10min (I live in Longmont) to an hour or so up to CSU. I’m ready for a surgical consult, so if anyone has used Aspen Meadows, I’d love to hear about your experience. CSU is close but I hear it’s very costly. I have some means but not infinite. Thank for listening!!

 

Went to see the oncologist today. Chest films are clean and the tumor in her left front radius seems to be totally encapsulated. So we are onto options. Amputation weighing heavy on my mind. Will she be mad at me? Will she be happy? Her life will never be the same. Wake up at 4am crying my eyes out every night. How why … my sweet girl deserves better. She’s not just my dog, she’s the best thing in my life, besides my son. I feel like I let her down. Just want her to be happy, healthy. She’s given me so much and she gets cancer? None of this is fair of course. Thankful for the opportunity to share my thoughts. Many puppy kisses to you all!
