Wishing for a chemo buddy

[Anna and Achilles]

I start chemo today for leukemia. I am blessed with a great family and wonderful friends that have all rallied around me. However, I really wish I could bring Achilles with me. He would not be a problem. Ok so he might want to great everyone there (who doesn't want a big doodle kiss?) He hardly ever barks and basically would be glued to my side. So what's the prob. They should make a place where you could go with your pets if they were a great comfort. Maybe we could collectively make that happen. Well at least I get to snuggle when I get home.

[Tina and Mia]

You are so right, they are a great comfort.  You are in our prayers. 

[Sharon & Monty]

Did you ask to bring Achilles?

[Sharon & Monty]

Monty and I are very sorry to hear that you are enduring chemo.  Our prayers are for you to have a speedy recovery.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Anna, JD and I are sending all our best wishes that your treatments go well and are successful. I know Achilles will do so much to help you get through this and help you feel better.

It really is a shame that he can't be with you while you're getting the chemo. I know that nothing would make it easier for me than to have Jack there.

Hi Anna...

I'm so sorry to hear that you have to start chemo today.

I'm sure Achilles was waiting for you when you got home...and showered you with Doodle Kisses!!

During this time...please know that you have a family here at DK...to encourage and support you.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...and looking forward to hearing a good report...

I think discussing this with your care professionals is a good idea! Change starts with one idea! Yours is a great one. I have said that I need Neely in some situations so that I stay calm. He seriously helps me by just being there. I am sure your health would have a positive affect with your baby by your side. I think this is possibly your purpose right now. You could be the next patch adams of chemo pals! If achilles was a guide dog where would he be taken to? I would start with your doctors prescription for a companion dog so he can go there too.

God bless you and keep you.

I echo Joanne...we are all with you in spirit.  If you find we're squeezing your hand a wee bit to hard just let us know ;)

Take your photo's with you.  Take us with you too.  May all the doodles sit on your lap and kiss you silly, Anna.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

How did it go?  I hope you are feeling okay today.

Doodle kisses & hugs from Sydney and Olivia. Just know we are all sending positive thoughts your way!
