Devastated... cancer again...

[my2boys]

I'm so sorry. Losing our pets is losing a member of the family. I don't know what else to say except that my heart goes out to you.

[Jantea]

I can't even begin to say how very sorry I am for you. I am lucky however to have felt the same love that is now breaking your heart. I will be thinking of you and praying for the strength you'll need to get you through this. Janet

Thanks for all the kind words. I wish I could Pm all of you.

Unless I get the miracle I am praying for, Diva won't be here very much longer. I have watched her turn from a beautiful healthy and happy girl, to an old tired dog. I want her to cross here at home, but cannot find a vet that does house calls. The Artetisiminin I ordered won't be here until Tuesday, and I think it will be too late.

I know all the tears I have already cried for Diva, are not even the tip of the iceburg of what I will shed when she leaves me. She has been my comforter through all the worst times of my life. When she leaves me, I honestly don't know how I am going to survive. She pulled me out of the darkness and brought me into the light. What will I do without her?

My2Rotties, Please know we are here for you! Don't go it alone.

I'm so sorry you are going through such pain. I lost my angel to cancer 2 yrs ago but i think of her always and now i have Rocky who i was presented with one week after she passed. He will never replace her but i feel he was sent by her to help me get through her passing. God bless and take care of your baby. Love Sharon.x

I'm so sorry to hear about this.... and DO NOT feel guilty. You did nothing with Diva or any of the others to cause this... and any COE breeder you go to in the future will not think so, either.

We are all here for you and Diva... most of us have been there before, some more than once.

I am so very very sorry. Reading your and Diva's story is painful to me. All my Rotties, since 1984 (including a foster boy) with the exception of one, were afflicted with various types of cancer. I am so terribly sorry you and your dearly loved girl are on the same, sad, heartbreaking path I walked with my dogs. So very very sorry.

[Sharon Marples]

I am so sorry for what you are going through. It is always so hard when they have to leave us.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Diva and I had the most fabulous day today. You would never even remotely think that she is terminally ill. These are the ups and downs that take so much out of me. I am run down, and if you had to guess, you would think it is me with the cancer. I will keep fighting, until Diva does not want to stay here anymore. She is still eating well, and had a great couple of walks today.

What I hate about this disease is that one day they are wonderful, and then the next day, we are sending them to the bridge. I just hope hope my poor body and soul can take it... I have no friends or family to help me through this. It is hard to have the weight of this on my shoulders alone. My husband has his own grief to deal with, and he has neverbeen there for me before. It was always Diva that helped pull me through.

Diana, my heart aches for you. We had our Jesse for 13 years, there was one cancer scare with her but it turned out to be ok. I thank god for that of course.

I worry for Dixie, she's just 3 and I'm concerned every vet visit that it will be found that time. I know I am blessed to know her, and my job if and when she contracts it will be to give allow her a proper end.

It's strange that you've lost so many that way, I'm sure it's not you or your efforts that cause it but I sure wish there was tests etc to see if a link could be found.

I send you hugs and Dixie is providing the licks to your Diva - we wish your family the best. I hope you'll try again, your rots were lucky to have you, and many more need you.

Diana...She's helping you now too. Your Diva girl sent you here so that we could help you through this. Most of us have experienced the heart wrenching loss of a rottie to the dreaded disease of cancer. Yet, we continue to love our rotties...it's what we do. I'm not here to tell you it will be easy, because it won't. But I do know how you feel...I've lost 2 to cancer and my heart dog was dx with the disease. I've also lost human family members to the horrific C. We ARE your family....albeit cyber. We WILL be here when you are having your darkest days....and experiencing the emptiness inside. My heart aches for you...but I also know that Diva will be there also. She will continue to help you on your journey...only with angel wings. I'm sure my Sasha will be there to greet her...along with many others that have gone on before...BUT now is the time to live in the present...to enjoy each and EVERY single special moment you share with her. Nuzzle her, hold her, take long relaxing walks together, play, take photos, smile and laugh...These will be the memories you will cherish forever...You are in my prayers...

Hi, I am new to this site, I am curious to know what symptoms Samson had before you found the tumors. Our male rottie Sarge has such a sensitive stomach & is on allergen free food. Our female rottie Sadie was just diagnosed with bone cancer. I never realized how common this was for our breed. I am trying to post my story & I cannot figure out how. Can you help me? Thanks, JESSICA
PS Sorry for your losses
