Today's appointment with the Vet resulted in a less than desirable change of plans...
The pre-op X-rays indicate a rapidly progressing cancer has moved into her lungs. We are seeing dramatic change since the last chest x-ray taken in mid June one month exactly. It would remove discomfort to do surgery but is this right for her?…probably not.
Lungs - 30% has fluffy white appearance – in June is clear. There is one nodule and 40% lungs affected; one more well defined 2.2 CM mass.
The Dr said that we should not have any regrets or reservations, as we have made calibrated decisions in choosing the best options for Hailey. We could have done the surgery 1 month ago and her lungs would still be a problem.
This past weekend was a long one, as we anxiously awaited surgery as a relief for Hailey to remove her discomfort. She is very weak, not able to walk, has nearly 0 appetite even with a buffet of options - She has been on pain meds, but is whimpering and crying more now - She is not comfortable. I never imagined this day.
Tonight will likely be our last night with her. Please keep our family, especially the girls, in your prayers. We will miss her greatly. She has been such a special part of our lives for close to 11 years.
