Update!

Petunia has now completed her last Chemo treatment so she has decided Mommy needs to update the blog from now on as she's too busy finding out just how much fluff will come out of a stuffed duck.

She did really well throughout all of her treatments and until yesterday we thought she came through with no side effects. As you can see in the pictures below, although they predicted she would not lose her hair, this was not the case. Her hair isn't growing back very quickly form the areas that were shaved either.

She will just have to keep wearing pretty sweaters a little longer and wear lots of sunscreen if it doesn't grow back before summer. We go back every 2 months now to get an ultrasound and monitor her between the appointments to make sure the tumors haven't returned. We will continue to update the blog to let everyone know how she is doing and post the latest pictures.

Thank you to everyone that has made donations to help with her medical bills! We still have a long way to go. We have silicone wristbands available for anyone interested. They are purple (of course) with Petunia's Plight on the front and Canine Cancer on the back. Receive a free wristband for every $5.00 donation!

Only 1 Chemo treatment left!

I went to visit the Doctor again on Friday. I only have one Chemo treatment left! The doctor did an ultrasound last time I visited her. I'm not sure why...I told her there were no puppies in there but she insisted. When Mommy came to pick me up the Doctor told mommy she didn't find anything, she should have just listened to me! Look How much I've healed up. My hair isn't growing back very fast though and my butt gets cold alot.

Mommy says after next week I only have to go visit the Doctor every 3 months. She said that they will do an ultrasound, I told her there aren't any puppies in there and that I told the Doctor that too. I dont even have a boyfriend! Mommy said the ultrasound is to make sure there are no more cancer bumps inside my belly, not to look for puppies. I didn't know that, did you? Mommy said I have done really well with all the Radiation and Chemo. My tummy was only sick one time and my sores healed up good. They hurt real bad for a few weeks but I tried not to complain. I hope you still think I'm cute! I even shaved my legs for you, just to the knee though LOL. Just kidding! The doctor shaves them so they know where to put the needle at when I get Chemo. When I'm done they even give me a purple bandage, my favorite color!

I think I'm going to go take a nap now. I have been up almost 4 hours today and I am really sleepy! See you in a few days!
