First off, Buddy's cancer hit him really hard two weeks ago. We ended up rushing him to the vet because he was having trouble breathing. His throat swelled throughout the night. Once the vet saw him and informed me of two things we could do, upping his prednizone, which probably wouldn't work, or putting him down. We had to put him down. He was so exhausted and in pain. We got him cremated and he rests on our living room table next to a picture collage of himself.
Finally, me. Shortly before we found Buddy's cancer I had a "kidney stone." Turns out it was never a kidney stone. It was a calcification in my kidney caused from chronic kidney infections. The bacteria in the infection causes calcification. The chronic kidney infections has damaged my kidneys and I now have kidney disease. I'm in stage 3. My dr. Will continue to monitor me and we'll make decisions depending on my test results over time. It's painful and overwhelming to learn. I think dealing with it and changing my diet will get easier over time. I'm hoping I don't continue to damage my kidneys and end up on dialysis or transplant list.
I can't wait for life to go back to normal soon.
