Category: Cancer Sucks

Ursa had her first dose of chemo on Friday. It was oral, and we administered it at home.

We keep expecting to see her energy flagging and her appetite waning and yet… well, see for yourself: http://blogalacart.com/2012/06/what-chemo/

Ursa’s staples come out tomorrow! Hooray hooray! She has recovered from surgery beautifully and is kicking butt as a tripawd. I’m so inspired by her.

The big news is that her cancer is not osteosarcoma. It looks like a joint cancer instead. Still waiting on further tests and opinions to plot our course from here but I would love your feedback and thoughts. Please jump over here and share as my readership has taken quite an interest in tripawds. I am so grateful for your support!

Ursa has bone cancer.

She was diagnosed yesterday.

My heart is breaking. I’ll be writing about our journey with her over on my personal blog (Blog a la Cart, http://blogalacart.com) that I’ve inhabited for going on three years. I welcome the Tripawd family to read along. I’ll be looking to all of you for support. Here’s my first post: http://blogalacart.com/2012/05/risk

It’s not fair. She was supposed to live forever. She turns seven years old next month. I thought I’d have her for at least another seven. Out time together was supposed to be only half over. It’s not supposed to be the end.
