Update on Benson
Well we got the news last night from the vet around 6:30. It is, in fact, a very rare type of cancer that Benson has. Right now it’s in his intestine and hasn’t spread, which is great news. The pathology report won’t come back for three days so we don’t know exactly which type of cancer it is, but he does have something called Lymphangiectasia. He does have leaking lymph nodes. The only good news is that the Doctors think Benson’s cancer is treatable with medicine, and, as a last resort, chemotherapy.
We will post more updates as soon as we get them. And to everyone who has left such wonderful warm messages of hope, love and prayer for us, we thank you. We sincerely thank you for circling around us at this terrible time. We are so lucky to have friends and a support group like you. We have even gotten some care and concern ecards for Benny and the family!
Benny is a little fighter and we believe he will pull through this. He will get to come home from the vet tonight so I might have some pictures of his cuts tomorrow, we’ll see how sensitive he is.
That is such great news about Benson. Love and prayers do work and we will all continue to pray for his quick recovery. Give him many hugs and kisses tonight!!
Tank woo fur the pupdate!
And fur the visit and kind words!

The only good news about canine forms of cancer is that dogs seem to react better to medication than people do. And they have less side-effects from the chemo as well. A friend of mine has had several dogs who have lived nice long lives even after a cancer diagnosis, so keep your spirits high! Probably the best thing is that Benson is completely unaware of what of going on with him.
Thumbs up!
Your pal,
Petey
Sending handsome Benson lots of healing thoughts and our prayers and purrs…
