Emmie's Story

It's been over 2 years since I lost my 4 year old Beagle, Georgia, to Lymphoma. When my 10 year old Beagle, Emmie, was diagnosed with Cancer I was determined not to lose another dog to this disease (at least not without a fight). I started doing research online and quickly decided that there weren't any stories about survival and I decided to stop looking.

Thankfully our hometown, Austin, TX, has a fantastic specialty vet with a wonderful Oncologist. He provided us with affordable options for treating her Mast Cell Tumor that had spread to her lymph nodes. We are now halfway through Emmie's Chemo and I have decided that I should tell her story. I plan to backtrack and start with her diagnosis and take you through her treatments and hopefully continue through to a cancer free diagnosis. I hope this blog can help provide a positive story for other pet owners who find themselves with a pet who is diagnosed with cancer.

Please know that I am not a vet and am simply a pet owner passing along information that I have found to be helpful.
