Not Again

Back in August, we took Duncan for his 6 month check up complete with x-rays. Everything came out clear! No metastisis! Lungs are clear! We were so happy. And just in time. The summer had been wrought with other personal stresses. Finally, 2005 seemed to be heading for a happy ending. Then about 1 week later, I found 3 small lumps on Duncan's right side near his spine. Russ was speaking at the time, but his voice trailed off as I shifted focus from the conversation to the little masses underneath poor Duncan's skin. I was devistated. Cancer? Again? But he just got a clean bill of health.

I decided to wait until after Seattle to mention it. The lumps were still there. So I wrote a post about it in the VAS Yahoo group. Everyone was optimistic. And we decided a FNA wouldn't hurt. So I think I might go in for that. I guess. Does it help to know? Especially if there is nothing we can do? Maybe we just ignore it until he starts to feel bad. What to do.......

For now Duncan is happy and energetic as always. I wish he stayed like this always.
