Cancer Free!!

Last week we recieved the best news ever! After the (hopefully) last time of dropping Bentley off at the hospital for a whole day they let us know his chest and abdomen all look good and no evidence of any cancer cells!!! It has been such a long road but to think in only 6 months after his amputation with 8 rounds of CCNU chemo he is now cancer free!!! The Doctor of course said its not necessarily permanent for now which is scary but I’m not even thinking it will come back. Once again he had histiocytic sarcoma which is a very aggressive cancer. I can’t thank this site enough for everyone’s support throughout our journey and we will continue to keep you updated with the good and bad. Thank you!!

Happy as a Clam

Hi everyone! I realized I’m not on this site as much when things are going well and I thought for those struggling I would bring hope to. So far Bentley is doing GREAT! Yesterday was his 2 month ampuversary and I can’t be more surprised. He goes on longer walks than I’d ever expect. Runs up and down the stairs (while I hold my breath hoping he doesn’t fall). He’s even been playing with some dogs during our walks on his leash. The stroller is still very useful it’s just a pain in the butt for me to take down the stairs and put together and wheel next to hop running until he gets tired. We went on a super long walk today and he still had energy and just kept going it was amazing. I tried to get him to walk back home because I knew he’d be tired and didn’t have the stroller. None the less he pulled me to the other side of Manhatten and we took a cab home. He slept the rest of the day today. I’ve included pictures because it is just too cute! He has also successfully gone through 3 chemo treatments. His blood count has been slightly low so they keep lowering his dose but his spirits are so high. I owe so much gratitude to this site for helping us through everything thus far. imageSidewalk
