greys mum Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I am so sorry Alex. Millie doesn't know she is ill, so hopefully she will be bossing the boys around for a while yet. Big for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks everyone for all your messages and PMs - they are very much appreciated Still trying to get my head around it Chemo is an option but highly unlikely to be a cure. I opt for quality of life over quantity and I don't know if the chemo would make her ill. We have the option of referral to a cancer specialist at Liverpool University teaching hospital (where Max was referred when he was ill). If nothing else, they may be able to identify how far the cancer has spread. Whatever I do, I will do what is best for Milly and not what's best for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have spoken to my vet today and asked him to refer us to the Oncologist. He is going to fax over Milly's notes tomorrow and then speak to them. At least then we will hopefully have some specialist advice and see where we go from there.
