Vet found 3 lumps on Paz?

[charlotte bednarsh]

Hi all, I'm so distraught.  Paz had a fatty tumor on his side, that had been aspirated and was just fatty tissue.  This morning, the vet found 3 lumps on Paz, all on his left side; she aspirated them and sent them to the pathologist and I'm hoping to get the results tomorrow.  She said they must rule out lymphoma, and it could possible be a sign of infection, so she also took a complete blood panel.  She said they looked like inflammatory cells under the microscope, but she is not a pathologist, therefore would not venture a guess.  I'm just an absolute mess; I can't stop shaking.  Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

Charley, my heart goes out to you and your very special Paz. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers. <3

I'm so very sorry to read this diagnosis - keeping you and Paz in my thoughts and prayers.  Like everyone else here, I so enjoy reading about Paz's work helping others.  He's a very special boy, indeed.

Thinking of you and Paz this morning. I'm so sorry to hear of his diagnosis and wish I had some words that could bring you comfort.  Paz is such a special boy and the work you do with him has been so inspiring. I'm continuing to keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for your peace and For Paz to have wonderful care and a good result.

My heart is breaking for you Charley. I too feel that Paz is part of my life. I talk about the two of you in every one of the classroom presentations that I do with Gavin at the college. I am hoping and praying for a favourable outcome. Xo

Thank you all for your amazing support.  Tomorrow morning is the big day; we see the oncologist at 9:00AM.  Paz is acting like nothing is wrong, so thank goodness for that.  My son, Jon and his wife, Michele, made a beautiful Thanksgiving, but I struggled to get through the dinner; I also didn't want my grand daughters to see me upset.  I  left Paz at home because I wanted him to rest, so all I wanted to do was get back home to my baby boy.  My son and his wife totally understood and were so very kind.  My son, Jon,  is accompanying us to the oncologist tomorrow; Jon has a really level head and will absorb all the information, whereas, I'm struggling to maintain my composure.  When my beloved sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Jon always maintained his composure and dealt with all the emotionally painful medical decisions involved when someone you love is so very ill.  The oncologist has an incredible reputation and he is located at Blue Pearl Hospital which is a state of the art facility.  I will keep you all posted.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Please know that our prayers are with you at tomorrow's appointment.  How very lucky you are to have such a wonderful son and other family members to support you.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

I'm so glad that your son is going with you tomorrow. He sounds wonderful. Know our thoughts go with you and Paz. Praying for "hope." 

[Bonnie and Kona]

I am so glad your son is so kind and helpful. You can have him listen to the details while you and your husband try to process all that is happening. Praying for all of you and especially for Paz. Please update when you can, Charley.

Thanking you so much.  I've been up all night, hugging Paz and never wanting to let him go.  I will keep all of you posted.
