Hello, friends!
Meet Lucky...my very loving companion for the last 10 years. For the past
two months Lucky or “Loo” as he’s sometimes referred to hasn’t been feeling too well. I had been noticing a decline in his health, and had taken him to the vet twice. Each time the vet declared he was just aging. About 2 weeks ago I noticed his lymph nodes in his neck were swollen. The next day the vet tested him for lymphoma. A couple days later I received the news that my best friend would pass away within weeks without treatment. Upon hearing this I decided to put him on chemo. I was told that there would be a chance that he would not respond, but I assured the Vet that my baby is a fighter. And boy did he fight. He went into partial early remission within the first week of treatment. I was told that Lucky was the first case the oncologist had ever seen respond so soon. By the second week the doctor declared that Lucky was in full remission. I knew my baby was a fighter. But the doctor said that even though he is in remission, he needs to continue with the full treatment. A full course of chemo will cost me 10 thousand dollars. So far I’ve paid out 3,500, which was not easy. I’m starting this go fund me in hopes that maybe some of you out there can see that animals do have a chance even when they are given weeks to live. Honestly, I wouldn’t normally ask for help, but this is not for me. It’s for my best friend who was there for me when I struggling through my divorce, and more recently my mother’s own fight with lung cancer. You see, the word “cancer” never scared me. The words “can’t” and “no” do. And as much as I would like to, unfortunately I can’t do this one alone. Thank you all so much for listening to our story! ♥️
