She lost the battle

Oh no. I cant express my sorrow enough. You fought so very hard and deserved to win.

Huge hugs to you, Consuelo and Dora.

Love Vally.

Dearest Lynda

I had a look at the photos on Facebook. They are so lovely – especially the “zero gravity” full pelt running one. I know everyone’s different, but I find it comforting to look back at old photos when you can see them looking so healthy. In time, these will become the images that stay with you.

I will light a candle for dear Honey tomorrow. I just got a new one as a gift. Strangely, it’s called “Honey Blossom”. I’ll think of Honey every time I light it.

Much love and lots of hugs to you, Consuelo and Dora. I can see what a wonderful home Honey had with you.

We have finally heard from the hospital.  They are almost certain from the last tests they did that the IMHA was secondary, and the primary cause of her illness (and death) was an acute myeloid leukemia.  We had no chance of beating it.

In a funny kind of way, my vet and I are both a little relieved,  precisely because it does mean that we did nothing wrong.  The cancer was always going to win.  Consuelo and I are still very depressed, and miss her terribly:  but we do know that we, and our vets, did everything possible.    Poor Honey.

Lynda & Consuelo

It was no wonder Honey didn’t respond to treatment then – in a way, this news has put your minds at rest. I am so very sorry this happened to dear Honey & you know we were all devastated on here – I still am actually.  Thank you for telling us what happened & I am sending big hugs to you both at this sad time

I’m glad this adds some closure.  Yes, thanks for letting us know.

Love Vally

Dear Lynda

Thank you for letting us know. I’m so sorry this happened, but yes, I totally understand your feeling of relief. I think this is very natural, as it removes any question from your mind as to whether anything else could have been done. You know that you did everything possible for your sweet girl. I have no doubt that you and Consuelo are still feeling very sad and missing Honey dreadfully, but I have such admiration for you both in adopting Shona and giving her a wonderful home when you must still be feeling so raw. That takes enormous courage and kindness.

Much love to you all,

Mary x

Lynda, I have been off this post for awhile and I am so sorry that I wasn’t here but so many wonderful people here and over the years that we have been here for one another we have made such close and dear special friends I love all here and they care as I care that you and your dear little baby was faced with this disease. it is a true heartbreaker of a cruel disease that no wonderful pet child and their family should have to face. I too have a little chi  who faced this awful disease. and I am so sorry and I understand in your words. we learn very fast of the ups and downs and broken hearts of a disease most never knew until it hits our little fur babies. i am so glad that you found this forum to give support when you needed it so very badly. my very best for you and know I am truly sorry. lynn
