Today was Geordie’s first follow up visit after getting his C diagnoses a couple of months ago. He had a new vet this time because his long-time doctor recently left for an other practice.
The news the new doctor gave us was just what I had been hoping for. She said that despite the cancer, he is in excellent health! I was afraid it was wishful thinking on my part and that I was only seeing what I wanted to, but no, Geordie is strong and “healthy” and happy. She said that whatever we’ve been doing, keep it up. And, not to get our hopes up, but…if he keeps up the way that he is, Geordie could live one to two more years.
On top of the good news, today was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. It was perfect for lifting one’s spirits. I hope everyone reading this had something equally wonderful happen for them too.

This is such great news!! Good boy Geordie!
I’m a good boy? Then can I have a cookie?
What wonderful news!
Oh Geordie, that gladdens our hearts! We are so happy you go such a good report¡
How lovely to hear. Our Westie lived happily with a tumor until one day she succumbed. Enjoy the time you have ahead of you.
Several people have told me that the end tends to come suddenly in these cases. I keep reminding myself that this is as natural as breathing or sleeping so everything – no matter what it is – is OK.
Yes. One day she was great, the next day paralyzed. She died before the vet even was able to inject her. A great mercy.
That is outstanding news. We are praying for many more days for our good friend Geordie.
