@MiloTheDaxie@SausageArmyHQ Thank you. Waiting on some test results coming back and then we can work out the best way forward - for Bracken. We hope this type of cancer can be ‘managed’ as we couldn’t imagine a more aggressive approach with our gentle (and more senior) lad … 🙏🏻
@ZeldaDachshund@SausageArmyHQ Thank you. We hope this can be ‘managed’ at least… we couldn’t imagine putting our older, gentle lad through any more aggressive treatment… 😔
@DexterMidgley@SausageArmyHQ Thank you. It’s hard to be dealing with cancer again… a very different type though. Waiting to hear back on test results before we can work out what’s next… 🙏🏻
@joanneprice6@SausageArmyHQ Thank you. It’s not easy news to deal with on any level - there’s never a ‘good time’ for scary news like this, but it’s all so soon after Harris’s passing and can’t believe we’re dealing with cancer *again*… albeit a very different type… 🙏🏻
@SausageArmyHQ We hoped - with everything - that Harris had beaten this cancer in June. Its return was horrifying. It was aggressive. Our boy fought, but this wasn’t a disease he could beat. He was his own loving, sensitive, sassy self until the end. And he was loved completely. 🤍🤎 (2/2)
@SausageArmyHQ Friends, it’s Mum/Fiona here. Thank you, and apologies for not being here. It’s four weeks on Friday since Harris left us, and it’s been terrible. His loss has been devastating. I miss him all the time. These weeks have been a mix of disbelief, pain and incredible sadness. (1/2)
@jennyfuramy Considering that I was really close to needing a feeding tube in hospital… I’ve been tucking into every meal! Getting all the nourishment for all the healing! 💪🏻
3/ I’m back at the Dick Vet in the middle of July, to the oncology department, for a CT scan, to see how my chest is looking once I’ve healed from the surgery, and to establish a ‘baseline’ for all future CT scans. I’ll be getting scans every three months from July on.
Some good news friends.
My lymph nodes test shows that the mass has not spread to create a secondary cancer elsewhere. Massive relief there.
Had more blood tests on Monday and my liver enzymes are waaaay down - they had been very elevated post surgery.

@TheSquirmyWorms Bracken takes this as he had ongoing elevated liver enzymes following his haemorrhagic gastroenteritis last year. It’s helped stabilise him so that’s good to hear that you’re on this too.
@Lells37 Thank you - and so sorry that you and your brave boy went through trauma too. There’s still healing to do here - my lungs still have healing to do, but we’re taking it day by day. 🫶🏻💛
