Tico is doing great

Tico is running at top speed again!

He's Healthy and Happy,
and He still has the same rare Skin Cancer (Mucocutaneous Plasmacytoma)

Back on 01 March, 2013, We took him into Mission Pet Hospital and the Biopsy came back positive for this same Cancer. We caught it very early on and it was removed from his little head not to appear back just from the Biopsy.

        (actually Tico the Wonder Dog is part Chihuahua, part Miniature Pincher)

The Oncologist on consultation suggested a new round of many drugs with who know what kind of side effects, so with the consideration with Tico's Treating Doctor, Mark and I decided to just continue with the same Chemo drug we've got him on, and see what happens. No renewing him to start up Prednisone again.

The thing is, He's healthy and happy.
He's now willing for the 1st time since October 2012 to Run, and I mean Run!
He's got a renewed interest in the World.
He's alive and happy, that's All any of us can ask for in any of our lives.
So, for the moment, We'll keep on eyes on him, and let be with the Chemo Drug:  Melphalan.

As we all know, Life doesn't come with any Guarantee,
Everything in Life is filled with Educated Guesses and Gut Feeling.
My Gut, My Heart tells me to let him be Happy, Run, and Chase Balls.

Keep him in your thoughts, white light, and Prayers.

Good news from Tico's last blood work,

We found a suspicious bump on his head.
The Vet aspirated it, results be be back on Monday. (04MAR13)

Looks like He might have to go back on Prednisone, (which I hate).
Tico now weighs in at 13.5 pounds, we're gonna have go portion control.

He's still wanting to take long walks which ironic because I don't,  I have Bronchitis. 

I don't know what this means for Tico, but He's still happy.

Thank You for all your kind words, prayers, and donations.
