She is a 4 year old black lab mix, diagnosed September 24 with lymphoma. When I read the post about a Cancer Journal, something clicked and I knew I had to keep one. Right now, because it is early, I am using a file folder with pockets. There is an opening in the front for our vet's business card with all numbers, and I use top-loading sheet protectors for the pages. The vet's office is amazed with the book. They had never seen one. I live in the midwest where dogs are mostly for hunting or protection, aggressive cancer treatment isn't all that common. The pockets I use to keep track of each weeks Buffy Coat Profile, payment receipts, and any new prescriptions. It has helped us alot. My husband and I usually take her together for her treatments, but if one can't be there, the book goes along and we don't have to try to remember everything. Cancer is time-consuming, heart-wrenching, yet we remain hopeful. Our little one is in remission for the first time, we hope it lasts a long, long time! Bless all you other moms and dads of furbabies, what would we do without them?? After reading Georgia’s Legacy, I started a journal for my little girl Jasmine.
