We got the results back from Niko CT and his FNA/ultrasound of his spleen yesterday. Good news is his spleen is okay. He has lymphoid hyperplasia in his spleen which means we won’t have to remove his spleen. Bad new he’s got mets to his lungs. It didn’t show up on his x-Ray or ultrasound but his CT showed multiple small lesions in his lung the largest being 7mm. This means his cancer is spreading. The ribs around the affected rib (11th) are not affected so we’re going surgery can get rid of the primary tumor and we hope to get the small lesions with chemo if it’s possible.
We’re taking every precaution possible to stop the tumor from growing. This includes no carbs and no sugar in his diet. NO WHEAT, NO GRAIN, CORN, and anything that we don’t know on the back of the label. Me and Tom don’t smoke but with the cancer now heading towards his lung we are not allowing smokers near Niko. We have nothing against smokers and their choice to smoke but our baby comes first. Smoking stays on clothes and everyone knows our pets lick themselves. They ingest those chemicals that people leave on sofas and beds, and floors. We just want to do everything to keep our kid safe.
We are going in for surgery Thursday. I know some people aren’t dog people and may not consider their pets important enough to spend money on them. But NIKO IS FAMILY !!
