Willow has cancer :(
The biopsies of her stomach and small intestines came back which indicated
lymphoma in both areas. It is the type of cancer that does not respond well to radiation therapy, but is better controlled via Lucotran (?) an oral drug. She will also be getting shots of Prednisone as the oral tablets aren't helping incredibly well. Life expectancy is one to two years. I'm a bit shattered right now. |

This is sad news, but you did suspect that something was seriously wrong, didn't you? This is the time to make her remaining time count while she is well. Do everything she likes, give her treats and yummy food, spoil her and cuddle her. I'm so sorry about the news, but in 1-2 years you can definitely make her life happy. [[[hugs]]] Tweed |

[[[hugs]]] Tweed I did, I did think there was something seriously wrong, but I had the slight hope that it was something like IBD. Its just a shock to have it confirmed. |
