Good morning Joan (@soupycampbell), that sudden pain had to have been scary. I’m glad it subsided on its own. Before my tumors were under control, the only one that I ever felt was in the liver, that would give me a sharp pain that would pass fairly quickly. I’m not sure if the tumors are causing your pain, and if you have any increased shortness of breath, don’t be afraid to call for help. There is a lot that could be causing this.
Your pup is lucky to have you! She sounds so attached to you, but I’m glad your granddaughter will take good care of her if/when the time comes. I’m sure your family will honor your decision to have her with you, how sweet.
Do you know when the radiation will start? Have you had any additional pain episodes?

Soupy- You will have to check with the hospital and your doctor for answers to your great questions about your dog and doctor-assisted death.

I'm glad that you have talked with your doctor and family to make a joint decision. I feel better with that one too.

Have you yet seen or talked to your doctor about your chest pain?

Are you still planning on your trips?

Merry
