I have not been able to stop crying since this morning when my ex (Odie's dad) told me our little dog got Mast cell tumor. He had hidden the news from me because I am currently on vacation in New York so that I wouldn't get too upset the past few days. I am trying to cancel all my activities tonight and see if I could catch an earlier flight home (I am supposed to leave tomorrow early in the morning).
This cancer could be fatal if Odie doesn't get operated on Wednesday. It is not a rare disease but the location of the cancer cells are situated right above his left retina, which means one of his eyes might have to be taken out.
Odie has always been a healthy dog. As optimistic as I always am, I am very traumatized this time. It is not even about the sad feeling I might have from potentially losing him, it's about me not wanting my baby to suffer.
Thanks to those who have called to make sure I am ok today, I'll keep you all posted if there is any progress.
