Cat Scan results
Today has been a very difficult day for us all. We have been anxiously waiting for the vet to ring with my CAT Scan results.
The scan showed that the mass is a solitary tumour and it doesn't seem to have affected the nearest lymph nodes, which is good news. This means it is operable so I will go into hospital on Monday and have surgery to remove it on Tuesday morning, all being well.
We are very nervous about the operation but feel this is the only way forward as the prognosis without it is 6 months. Please continue to cross your paws for me and the Js, I think we'll need it to get through the next week.
Now to cheer us all up, here's a photo of me from happier times on the beach with Seamus & Molly...

hi Jackson, Pumpkin here. It sounds like a rough time ahead for all of you, but all in all and in the long run, as you say - good news. No wonder you hate the vet, though. Grrr, i'll sort 'em out for you. Now, get some feasting done over the weekend, before the fasting commences.
Jackson and the Js,
That does sound like good news. We know it will be awful to wait until Tuesday and then while Jackson is undergoing the surgery -- our Mom was beside herself for a simple little tooth-cleaning job or when JH had stitches for his cheek puncture -- but with all the Power of the Paw circulating, we know he'll do just fine. Thank Dog for this news,the preferred prognosis you were hoping for.
Jake and Just Harry and Joan
Jackson! We are so relieved to hear that the tumour is localized and can be removed. Mommy tells me that this is very serious surgery ("What? She thinks neutering us was a walk in the park?!" said Mica and Petey,"No, we understand...") and that we need to send lots of prayers to the doctors that they are wise and precise and that the Js have strength and courage.
Jackson, frankly, you have the easy part here, my friend! So this weekend, eat all your favorite treats, destroy a good half dozen toys in record time, then just sit back and absorb all the good wishes and healing white light that is shining on your wiry self!
Hey, there's a new building going up in our neighborhood called One Jackson Square!!! Are you moving here to be close to Asta and me for your recovery?
Lots of love,
Petey and his Mommy and Mica, too
Oh Jax, we're crossing our paws & hoping for a very successful operation. You'll be in our thoughts...
Hang in there buddy. We love ya!
Sherman, Penny & (naughty) Lola

Jackson, I know it seems very scairty, but I think it is good that your mass can be removed. I am going to hope for the very, very best outcome on Tuesday. Maybe you can be completely cured!

Everything's going to be good - we've got you in our special prayer and we've asked Grampie to put in a special word with all the angels -

Jackson, we are relieved! It sounds like you have some good doctors and I know they will do a great job next week. Are you going to get a cool scar to match your ear? You will look like the toughest pooch in England.
Asta, Molly and Taffy were nice enough to give me a gold medal and I dedicate it to you for your bravery through all of this! Hang in there buddy!
Your friend, Lenny
Hi my special Pal. What an reallly anxious day for you and The J's. But such good news that they can help you Jackson, but of course, scary too. But do not worry,all will be crossed and my barking is not even at full pitch yet so there will be EVEN MORE love n prayers and thoughts coming your way to help and the J's next week.

Love, pats & pets

Jackson! Scary as it all sounds, this is great news. I know you will be so brave with that surgery. It's nothing for a SWFT like you. The hardest part will be the fasting, I expect.
The J's nerves on going to be standing up on end! My mom looks super silly when her nerves stand up on end. Try not to laugh at them ... at least not when they're looking.
My paws haven't uncrossed yet ... and they won't until I hear you are in recovery. Sure, it makes peeing difficult, but toughies like you and me, we know how to work through these things.

SO it seems that all we have been doing has been helping. We can only imagine what your J's have been going through....so here is the next stage of the plan..Agatha is going to join the girsl(Asta and Lacie) to help with your care(in fact she has already gone to the store to get sweet potato chews and she is going to blenderize them for your post op recovery) We all now to increase our barking capablities( which as you know for us terriers wil not at all be diificult) and we are going to tell PL1+2 that we must walk for a longer period of time at night to look longer at the dogstar...We all love you my main man and are here at you beck and call....Give an extra kiss and lick over to the J's too......POWER FROM ALL OF OUR PAWS........love and a trillion kisses(part of the hoist it up plan....) A+A
Jax,Agatha forgot to add that I am now using rubber bands to keep everything crossed....it seems to work a little better(except when I go down the stairs) Do you want my flat screen TV for when you recuperate?) Love and a million,oops Aggie said to say trillion now,kisses Archie
Solitary, Localized....beautiful words when they mean that there is hope, even though all of us wish you didn't have to put up with more surgeries and pain.
We will keep barking for you, and keep our paws crossed at all but the most essential times (ya know?)
kisses

We continue to pray for you, especially on Friday nights when we light shabbat candles and speak to God. We love you Jackson, we are so proud of you too. You will get through this ordeal, as will your wonderful parents J and J. Hang in there bud.

An operation sounds scary. But if its going to make you all better, be brave. Sending you lots of hugs and nose licks.

Oh Jackson, we have been almost too scared to come and read youre blog, then we realised we were being selfish, and that you needed our support.
So pleased to hear that the news is more positive than it first seemed.
I understand that the J's will be worried about your op, and you are firmly in our thoughts and prayers.

We are praying for you. My predecessor, Logo the Border Collie, had a similar situation with an aortic tumor. He was very old and yet enjoyed a few good years. I know you are young and strong, so we are hoping the Dog Angel and goD will help you through this.
Thanks for posting that beautiful picture of you on the beach. We will keep that image in mind as we send out our best thoughts to goD to be good to you.
Love,
