Our Worst Fears Realised
It is with a heavy heart that we have to tell you that x-rays revealed Jackson has a large mass in his chest, most likely a tumour. He will have a CAT scan next Wednesday which will show whether the lesion is solitary or has spread elsewhere. It may be operable, but we won't know for certain until then.
Jackson will be coming home later today to rest after his latest bout of tests.
Thank you so much for your continued kind messages, comments and cards, they really do mean the world to us.
Please keep us in your thoughts during this difficult time.
The Js.

Hey buddy. We're sending loads of hyperactive positive cocker spaniel vibes your way. Those good thoughts are super effective, since there's so much energy behind them.
There's a Yahoo! group that my mom loves and recommends your folks join. There's a lot of talk on there about natural healing, boosting immune systems and general nutrition during tough times to help you pull through. The moderator has a PhD in doggie nutrition and knows a whole lot about handling the various issues you've been dealing with. It's called K9Nutrition, and is worth joining.
Also check out http://onibasu.com/, type in any keywords you'd like to know more about, and search in the K9Nutrition database. There should be tons of info in there for you as well.
Wishing you all the best!
Much love,
Stanislaw and Big Pupi

Hi again buddy. I did a little research and found that tumors have a tough time growing if they're denied carbohydrates. I'm sure your humans already know this, but I thought I'd post it just in case. Fish oil can also help slow the growth of tumors, and vitamin E helps increase the absorption of the fish oil. So maybe that combo will help?
Still sending you good vibes...
Hi Jackson,
I heard about you on Joe Stains' blog. I am sorry to hear your bad news, and I will be thinking good thoughts for you. Sending lots of puggy hugs and kisses your way.
