ALL CLEAR!!
June 1, 2012-
JD, Bruno, Daphne, & I made the 3 hr trip( from NW Arkansas to Stillwater, Oklahoma) to the OSU Vet Teaching Hospital. To my amazement we actually left on time, by 6:45am, and arrived just in the nick of time, at 10am. It was Bruno’s follow up appt to gauge his response to the new daily chemo& anti-inflammatory meds; he had now been on them for 60 days.
BACKSTORY:
March 21,2012-
60 days ago:We learned-through radiographs-that a tiny nodule had presented itself within Bruno’s left lung. Having just gone through 5 rounds of lomustine chemo every 3-4wks without side effects, this was not the news I had wanted, prayed, nor had hoped to hear. But there was no time to sulk. The game plan was now to begin smaller daily doses of chemo along with an anti-inflammatory and re-evaluate in 30 days.
April 24,2012-
30 days ago: we once again took the 6+ hr road trip to OSU, to run tests & re-evaluate based on Bruno’s response to this new chemo. By all outward appearances I tried desperately to remain optimistic and cheerful, yet the looming possibility that we could be delivered unfavorable news again overwhelmed me.
But thank God! The words we heard instead were,”Everything looks good.The radiographs are All CLEAR!” It took me a moment to process.
No nodule. Clear lungs.
Hallelujah! I then let out a deep breath which I had been holding- captive inside of me-for far too long. Whew!

Follow up again came back “ALL CLEAR!”
This was Bruno’s reaction to the good news…

Hey I don’t know how I missed this the first time around but what a BLAST! You are so much fun to watch Bruno!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement today. I was very happy to see Bruno so happy, enjoying his life. Then I read more posts and saw the sad news. My heart goes out to both of you. Bruno is out of pain now, and he obviously had a wonderful life, full of love and joy, all the way to the end. It breaks my heart for you, I can imagine how much he is missed. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your story with me. So sorry for your loss.
