Our worse fear has come true.

Well today was the trip to Veterinary Specialist Services in St Louis. We received the worst news possible. We found out that our furry baby boy Tiki, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. They said we are looking at six (or less) months. It amazing such a small word can punch you in the gut and hurt so bad. I don't know what to think at this moment. I really keep asking how and why, but not directed to anyone particular. I guess I really would like and answer and a magic pill to make his cancer go away.

I know I just joined this site last month, but I want to thank everyone for the support I have received so far. I'll keep you posted, as we will still have vet visits. I'm also pouring through all his old photos to post to my album.

Comment by Gail L on February 8, 2009 at 10:34pm: Just saw your post....So sorry to hear of Tiki's diagnosis. Was hoping you would have better news. My thoughts are with you and yours.

Comment by Mariana on February 5, 2009 at 7:09pm: I'm so sorry to hear the diagnosis and prognosis. Did the vet have no other hope but to wait it out? If so, perhaps you should look for a second opinion and seek treatment. Best of luck. Tiki will be on my mind.
