Debbie, I am so glad that Jack is getting better every day. I am abit confused though. Was there cancer present or none at all?
Have you gotten your phone working yet?
I am glad that you had a good day with Amy and that Jack got to go there without having to go to the vet's!
Call me when you can.
hugs to the both of you,

Cynthia,
Thanks so much for posting. I probably haven't been clear about Jack's cancer, so thanks for asking. Yes they did find living cancer in his tissue biopsy. So what that means are there could be stray cells left behind by the surgeon which could begin to grow again, or there may be none left, it was ll removed by the surgeon. Won't know until he has his recheck in 3 months, so it will be a long 3 months. Am trying my best to believe that it is all gone.
Today we did a lot of work around the house and then spent the evening with some of Amy's friends who were here celebrating their eighth anniversary. It was pretty much just a lazy day. Jack played a little more today, in fact wanted to play a little game of throw the monkey. He also stalked a squirrel which he hasn't done for awhile. All in all, I saw more signs of his recovery. Amy was able to clean out his nose which had become pretty plugged up with mucus. I am sure he is breathing easier, however he is giving Amy a wide berth. He had a good dinner just a while ago, so I am sure I will be up with him in a few hours.
Thanks again for all your help and support. It has been a long last 30 days and we wouldn't be where we are without your generosity.
Love and Husky hugs,

another late posting. It has been such a busy day with Amy's birthday. She got out at noon today, so Grams and I had to hurry to get things ready. Then we had lunch got some homemade ice cream and came home to spend the afternoon. Paul cooked out and then tonight some of amy's friends came over .
As for me and Jack, we watched the Celtics beat the Lakers. Then we both fell sound asleep. I think i mostly slept through the game. I am so tired and Jack is too. So we are both looking forward to a great night's sleep. The storms are hading out wa y, some severe, so it should be a good night for sleeping. Jack is not afraid of storms, in fact my guy is not afraid of anything.
Every day I see him doing little things that let me know he is feeling better. today he was chewing on his baby monkeys. Now that is a very good sign. I did buy him a new monkey right after surgery and today he went and got it out to play with it.
Dr. Bommarito did let me know today that while he was hoping that there would be no cancer present in the biopsy, he was expecting there to be some, so Jack's results are not out of line. He suggested a recheck in three months from surgery, so that would be the last week of August. Dr. B will be out of clinic all summer studying for his boards, so I am going to wait until Sept, so I will not have to deal with another clinician. I really like Dr Bommarito and so does Jack. We trust him.
So grateful to you all your help.
Love and big Husky hugs,
Debbie and jack
