When I set out to start writing in the blog I found that it is much tougher to do these things when you sit down to do it. It starts to really hit home what is going on as you write it out. This past Sunday I had a wonderful one on one visit with Cathy. The Chemo has really been taking it out of her and she was exhausted so we just laid in her bed and had a few giggle's and then some tears as we talked about how things are going for her. She had a CT Scan this last week as it was her mid Chemo treatment and we were anxious to hear the results. Unfortunately the news is not at all what we had hoped for. The good news is that they feel this Chemo has slowed how fast this Cancer is growing, the bad news is it is still progressing. As you can imagine this has been taken pretty hard. They are going to start a new Chemo treatment this next Tuesday for 3 treatments. It will be only a One day treatment instead of 3 long days in the hospital which will hopefully be easier on Cathy as well. Please continue to keep Cathy in your thoughts and prayers. She loves the notes and cards she has been getting to. Her and Kim are spending a few quiet days away from home to themselves right now and Alecia and Aron are up watching the pugs.
I will write more as we learn more. Also, I have 3 retired bitches of Kim and Cathy's to place in great homes if you know of any awesome people looking for adult pugs. They are 3, 4 and 5 years of age and Spayed, UTD on vaccinations and housebroken. i will have them here and do the placements from here as well.
If you would like to send a note or Card to Cathy here is the address again:

Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts and for all that so many of you have done.
Thanx Diana! I am speechless, I had hoped the news would be better too. Great picture of you two with those smiles. Hopefully I will get to visit Cathy while I'm there. Thanx again for the updates. ((((Huggies)))

Hi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you and Kim at Wenatchee and thanks so much for the grand tour of your log lodge. It such a beautiful welcoming place because you and Kim have put so much of yourselves in every detail. I love the owl in the corner. Stay strong and keep up with the good food everyone brings you and especially your liquids. Drink, drink, and flush all the toxins away. Take good care, and you too Diana.
Hugs and Pugs,

ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteYou know, I said your name to Petunia and when she heard it her eyes became WIDE and her tail started shaking VERY fast! I think about how YOU changed her life by driving to Milton and rescuing her, and to this day, she remembers you!
I am praying for you friend -- just know that I'm here for you, anything you and Kim need, I'm just a phone call away.
I love you much friend,
Rebecca
