Still waiting...
... for the results. My M called up the vet today but my biopsy results are still not out. Apparently the lab usually takes 3 weeks for the results to come back, but my vet told them to rush it out in a week because of suspected lymphoma. I guess my M will wait another 2 days before calling again. Anyway, I have a review with the vet this sunday.
In the meantime, my M has been reading up on various links kind people have sent her. She was given this link which recommends this Dr Johanna's flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture, so she rushed out during lunch today to the organic store and came back with organic flaxseed oil and organic cottage cheese.
While at another organic store, the lady recommended this enzyme drink which is supposed to have antioxident and cancer fighting properties. The drink cost $138 a bottle, and each bottle lasts 2 weeks. The lady said for humans, it's recommended that they take a 6 month supply at one shot. When she realised it's for me, she said I can also take a 6 month supply.
My M has not heard of this drink before, and 12 bottles will cost $1600+, so she dare not buy so much at one go. In the end she, Aunty G and Aunty V shared a carton, so I get 4 bottles.
Seems that getting sick is not that bad after all! I now get extra cottage cheese mix everyday, and enzymes as well!

Hope Herbie can get well soon.
hi, i'm an avid reader of herbie's blog... truly hope that the results will be negative.
the enzyme drink sounds dubious... as enzymes like all proteins are broken down into amino acid after digestion... $180 sounds awfully expensive.
how about giving herbie some fresh organic fruits rich in antioxidants?
Herbie...we're all hoping your test results will turn out OK.
What great people you have taking care of you! You are one loved boy!
Paws crossed on the Avenue.

The AireZen is still coming Herbie! Not a day goes by that we don't think of you! Gosh at the price of this stuff, it should work, right?!
Love ya lots,

Hey Herbie,
I'm new to your blog. Came over from Opy's blog when I heard your bad news. I'm sending positive vibes in your direction and wishing you and your family the best.
Hi Herbie,
Err..rr.. I really do not know if its a good idea for you to try so many new stuff at 1 go.
Can your M consider bringing you to see Dr Oh? Acupuncture and helps to "clear the heatiness and remove toxic" from our body and Dr Oh is trained in Chinese Herbs for animals so probably he can give you better advice.
If your M would like to talk to him first, please ask her to contact my jie jie.
I am still praying for you.
Luv,
Snowball
Oh, I hope both of those will help you. Please get better soon okay?
Love licks,

I have heard great things about the flax seed oil and cottage cheese also. I would give that a try first, before spending such huge amounts of money on that other bottle. You could use that kind of money for chemotherapy instead if needed.

Hiya Herbie,
I am still keeping my paws crossed for you... (although it's a little difficult to walk around with crossed paws!!)..
Hi Herbie,
I think you can try to go to Dr Oh for accupuncture and Chinese Herbs. My friend had a dog who had a huge tumor on his leg and forehead. After the herbs and accupuncture, the lump on the forehead disappear. Though the dog has since passed away, it did help to relieve the pain.
Herbie is lucky to have you as his Mom. My family just lost Ginger to kidney failure a month back and ginger went for accupunture and it did help a bit too.
Be strong
Cheers

Dear Herbie
I hope you're better real soon. We're thinking of you.
Love from Hammer
Thanks guys. My M will certainly bring me for the accupuncture once the results are in. She's gotten the contact of Dr Oh already.
It's almost the end of the week but results are still not out. I'm getting impatient!
We're thinking about you today. We just know you'll be ok.
Aw, Herbie, I didn't know you were sick. Sorry, buddy! i hope you are well and the tests come back clear!
Take care!
Your pals, Mackie and Finnegan

Oh Herbie, I heard from Opy about you not feeling well. I have my paws crossed that things start to look up. My mom knows what this is like because her previous doggie had cancer in the lymph nodes in the neck. We are wishing you well and that the vet has good results.
