The Tripawd Times of Nova the Great Dane

Well now that my Blog is moved over here to Tripawds, it’s time for an update. Mom has many excuses for not updating everyone on the status of my health since JUNE. But the bottom line is, I AM DOING GREAT.  We were supposed to go in for updated chest x-rays in September and something came up so Mom cancelled the appointment.  Things kept coming up, so Mom decided to hold off on getting new chest x-rays for awhile.  It’s pretty much a financial decision, although I think she is scared to get bad news (it’s been a bad year for Mom).  The most important thing is I feel healthy, and life is great.  So I am totally ok with waiting.  I don’t think there is any point in going to the Doctor until I feel sick.  After so many visits early last year I am glad to not have to go and be poked and prodded, although I do miss the car rides!

Next week on the 11th will be my 1-year ampuversary.  I am so excited.  My oncologist told Mom that the prognosis is excellent for dogs who make it through the first year of an amputation. SWEEET! Dr. O told her that if I survive 1 year cancer-free, there is an 85% chance that I will still be cancer-free in 2 years.  WHOOO HOOOO! Beyond that the odds are even better!
